NORTHERN CAPE - Upington SAPS members were busy with patrols on Tuesday, 28 April 2020 when they received information about a vehicle that was transporting sheep.

They swiftly responded to the information and the vehicle was found about ten kilometres outside of Upington.

The suspects were travelling in two vans with eight sheep to the value of R12 000 which were later handed back to the lawful owner. They were all arrested and will soon appear in court.

The Station Commander of Upington, Brigadier Sampie Koopman applauded Warrant Officer Alfred Makatong, Constable Enock Daniels and Constable Charlice Titus for their swift response.
