In the early hours if this morning, Sunday, 23 April 2023, members attached to Operation Restore were executing a roadblock on the N7 near Klawer when they pulled over a suspicious Toyota bakkie with two occupants.
They ensued with a search of the bakkie and its occupants which led to the discovery of 29 unpolished diamonds and a substantial amount of cash in possession of the one occupant and three unpolished rubies in possession of the other occupant.
The stones were confiscated and the two suspects, aged 33 and 46, were arrested on the spot and the vehicle was confiscated as evidence as well. The duo will appear in the Klawer Magistrates’ court, once charged for the illegal possession of precious stones.
