Two suspects arrested while transporting explosives
Two suspects aged 30 and 43, were arrested during a stop-and-search operation conducted by members of the Waterberg Flying Squad, while transporting explosives valued at approximately R975 000.
The operation took place during the early hours of Friday, 30 October 2026, at 04:45, at Kranskop Plaza on the N1 South.
Members of the Waterberg Flying Squad, who were conducting stop-and-search operations while on duty, stopped a white Toyota Quantum occupied by two adult male foreign nationals. They searched them and discovered bags containing explosives.
When questioned about the relevant documentation or permits authorising the transportation of the explosives, the two occupants failed to produce the required documents.
The suspects, aged 43 and 30, were immediately arrested for transportation of explosives and illegal possession of explosives.
The seized items are as follows:
1. Explosives, with an estimated value of R975 000.
2. White Toyota Quantum used to transport the explosives.
The Provincial Commissioner of Police in Limpopo, Lieutenant General Jan Scheepers, commends the members of the Waterberg Flying Squad for their vigilance and dedication while performing their daily duties, as they managed to arrest suspects and confiscate dangerous explosives from unauthorised hands.
The suspects will appear before the Modimolle Magistrate’s Court on Monday, 2 November 2026.
