An intelligence-driven operation conducted by Standerton Crime Intelligence in collaboration with Standerton K9, Charl Cilliers Vispol and Detectives members, Car Tracker, Kasselman Security, and the local farmers led to the arrests of two suspects on Tuesday, 29 July 2025, at Springbokkuil Farm near Charl Cilliers for theft.
According to the police report, information was received regarding the duo, aged 29 and 31, who were allegedly loading maize in a truck.
An operation was executed, members proceeded to the said address, and upon arrival at the farm, the suspects were caught in the action, loading the maize with an estimated value of R1 500 000.00.
