Grahamstown: The three men were arrested and two saddles were seized to the value of R30000 and R12000 respectively.<\/P>
The suspects face a charge of Possession of stolen property.<\/P>
During the night of 16 and 17 January 2019, brazen robbers entered a home on a farm situated on the Southwell Road, which forms part of the Crown River Safari and Nature Reserve, whilst the occupants were on the farm and stole property worth over R200 000 including the two saddles.<\/P>
On Friday, 25 January 2019, at 10am, a local farmer who had been following social media about this theft case, informed SAPS at Grahamstown that he was approached by three men who offered him “Western saddles for sale”. He arranged to meet the “sellers” near a bank in High street at a specific time.<\/P>
The local SAPS established a team including members from Grahamstown Vispol support, rural safety manager as well as a local security company who pounced on the suspects as they arrived in a white Fiat Uno with the two saddles.<\/P>
Investigators will use experts to establish the link between this recovery and the house breaking which took place on the farm.<\/P>
The suspects are due to appear in the Grahamstown Magistrate’s Court early next week.<\/P>
