NW man found with explosives in Jouberton appears in court on Tuesday─── LUCKY NKUYANE 10:36 Tue, 21 May 2019
The North West police have confiscated explosives worth R129, 000 and arrested a man in Jouberton in Klerksdorp, who is set to appear at the cities magistrate’s court today.
Police spokesperson, Sabata Mokgwabone, says the provincial organised crime unit arrested the man on Sunday, following an investigation of two transactions that were allegedly made by the suspect in 2018.
He says the explosives found at the house they searched included blasting cartridges, shock tube assemblies and electrical detonators.
Mokgwabone says the long arm of the law caught up with the suspect during the third transaction with the police.
“The suspect’s apprehension emanated from an investigation that began in September 2018. That was after information was received that the suspect was selling explosives. “In the course of the arrest, the police found explosives worth R129, 000 inside the suspect’s bedroom,” Mokgwabone concluded.
