On Sunday, 1 May 2016, at approximately 01:00, the police in Lichtenburg re-arrested an escapee Danon Kruger, who is in his late twenties.  

Kruger's re-arrest follows his escape from lawful custody on Sunday, 24 April 2016, while in  detention for two business burglary cases.  The said crimes were both committed  in March 2014 and 2016, respectively in Lichtenburg town.   The accused's plan ran dry after he was re-arrested while trying to get out of town driving in a car.  He is expected to appear in the Lichtenburg Magistrates’ Court tomorrow, 3 May 2016.

The North West Provincial Commissioner, Lieutenant General Baile Motswenyane commended the Lichtenburg neighbourhood watch and the police for their cooperation that led to the success.
