Two men who were arrested for theft of diesel worth approximately R480 000 by the Hawks in North West will appear in court today.
The suspects, aged 27 and 34, will appear before the Rustenburg Magistrate's Court on charges of theft and tampering with essential infrastructure.
Provincial Hawks spokesperson, Tlangelani Rikhotso, reported that the two, along with another suspect who is still at large, were allegedly caught while stealing diesel at an underground pipeline site in Rustenburg.
