Three suspects are set to appear in the Cape Town magistrate's court after being bust by police for possession of catalytic converters worth R5m.
“The members proceeded to the address and on arrival at the premises, they accosted two men who were visibly nervous and could not even respond to questions posed to them,” Swartbooi said.
“The members then proceeded to search the entire premises. Their persistence was rewarded when they confiscated a huge consignment of catalytic converters. While the team were busy with the seizure, a man, claiming to be the manager, arrived at the business premises. He was stopped in his tracks before trying to evade an arrest. Members ensued with a search of his vehicle, found and confiscated more converters that were concealed in his car's trunk.
The suspects, aged between 30 and 40, will appear in court on charges of possession of suspected stolen property.
