3 suspects arrested for allegedly smuggling motorbikes to Mozambique
Mpumalanga police have arrested three men, aged between 31 and 47, for allegedly smuggling motorbikes and parts of motorcycles to Mozambique.
The three suspects were arrested on Saturday by the Nelspruit Flying Squad members on the N4 road, between Kanyamazane and Matsulu, on charges of being in possession of suspected stolen properties.
Police spokesperson Brigadier Selvy Mohlala on Sunday said members received information about a white Toyota Quantum minibus taxi, with Free State registration number plates, carrying some suspected stolen items.
The minibus taxi was en route to Mozambique using the N4 road.
“The said vehicle, which was occupied by commuters, was then spotted by the members between Kanyamazane and Matsulu whilst traveling towards the direction of Malelane.
“A search was then conducted on the minibus taxi as well as the tralier which it was pulling and items suspected to have been stolen were discovered,” he said in a statement.
Mohlala said police seized motorbikes as well as some parts of motorcycles wrapped in a black plastic bags.
When questioned by police, the three suspects informed police that they were the owners of the bags, but police arrested them. They were charged for possession of suspected stolen properties.
“Preliminary investigation into the incident revealed so far that the kombi was traveling from Welkom (Free State) and was destined to Mozambique when it was intercepted.
“The three are believed to have been in a mission to smuggle the goods from South Africa to the country of Mozambique when their attempts were halted by the astute members.”
The suspects are expected to appear in the Barberton Magistrate’s Court on Monday.
