2 suspects bust with 247 explosives near Beitbridge border

Two suspects were arrested by members of the police’s Beitbridge Task Team along the N1 highway near the Beitbridge border post in possession of 247 explosives on Friday.

The Beitbridge Task Team guards the border post between South Africa and Zimbabwe.

According to Colonel Malesela Ledwaba, the suspects were stopped during a stop and search operations.

The officials spotted a suspicious blue Toyota Corolla sedan with two occupants and stopped it.

“Upon searching the vehicle, the members found four bags in the boot of the car containing 247 blasting cartridges, 1,250 connector capped fuses, and seven reels of detonating cords,” said Ledwaba.

The two suspects were arrested, with police confiscating the explosives and their vehicle. They are scheduled to appear at the Musina Magistrate’s Court on Monday.

Ledwaba said they will probe where the explosives came from and their intended destination.

The Provincial Commissioner of Police in Limpopo Lieutenant General Thembi Hadebe has commended the members involved for their commitment to eradicate criminal activities.
