Four people, three from Zimbabwe and one from South Africa, aged between 30 and 36 years old, were on Saturday evening arrested for attempting to steal diesel from a mine in Mpumalanga Province in South Africa.
Brigadier Selvy Mohlala, Mpumalanga police spokesperson confirmed on Monday that the four were caught at around 8pm. Four light delivery vehicles, according to Brig Mohlala, entered the mine and hid between stockpiles.
He added: “Upon receiving information, the assistant contractor standby manager, supervisor of Vlanggatfotein Mine, and the reaction unit proceeded to the scene. On arrival, four vehicles resembling the mine mechanical vehicles with their loading bins converted to tanks were found.
“The four suspects were arrested for attempting to steal diesel at the mine after they failed to justify their entry into the mine. They were found with four light delivery vehicles, two Isuzu, one Ford Ranger, and one Toyota Hilux pickup truck, all with Gauteng registration plates.
“The vehicles were confiscated for investigation purposes. Additionally, the Department of Home Affairs will investigate the legal status of the Zimbabwean nationals who were among the suspects,” Brig Mohlala said.
