Abstract:

Vier mans tussen 20 en 46 jaar is in hegtenis geneem nadat die polisie Maandag op vier renosterhorings beslag gelê het toe 'n minibus onderweg na Opuwo by 'n padblokkade deursoek is. Die minibus is kort ná drieuur die middag by 'n padblokkade op die Kamanjab-Werda-pad afgetrek. Die polisie sê in 'n misdaadverslag vier mans is vir die besit van beheerde wildprodukte in hegtenis geneem. Die oorsprong van die renosterhorings en die waarde daarvan is nog nie bekend nie. Die polisie se ondersoek na die voorval duur voort.

Four men between the ages of 20 and 46 were arrested after police seized four rhino horns on Monday when a minibus on its way to Opuwo was searched at a roadblock. The minibus was pulled over shortly after three o'clock in the afternoon at a roadblock on Kamanjab-Werda road. Police say in a crime report four men were arrested for possession of controlled game products. The origin of the rhino horns and their value are not yet known. Police's investigation into the incident continues.
