Seven suspected rhino poachers in Eastern Cape are set to appear in court on Tuesday.
Police pounced on five suspects who were driving in the direction of Tarkastad over the weekend.
Officers uncovered stolen items amounting to about R100,000 while searching their car.
A preliminary investigation revealed that one of the occupants was wanted for a rhino poaching incident in the Western Cape.
The investigation also led a specialised team to a house in Mthatha.
They arrested two suspects there who escaped from the Makhanda correctional facility in 2022.
“Intelligence information led police to a vehicle that was travelling on the R61 on Saturday afternoon, which was stopped and searched about 2 kilometres outside Komani,” said the police’s Majola Nkohli.
