Police arrested a former retail store employee and recovered a large amount of cash from his home in Qumbu.
On Thursday, 6 April 2023, members from the Tactical Response Team teamed up with Mthatha Visible Policing received information about a suspect who fled to the Eastern Cape after stealing cash from his former employer in the Western Cape in March this year.
The information was immediately operationalised, which led police to a homestead in Qumbu, where a substantial amount of cash was found hidden in the bedroom.
A 30-year suspect was nabbed and detained for theft.
Preliminary investigation revealed that the suspect was employed at a chain retail store in Elsie’s River (Western Cape), where he managed to access the keys to the store’s safe, and stole a large amount of cash.
He will be transferred to the Western Cape, where he will appear before the Magistrate Court on charges of theft.
