Boxes of cigarettes were recovered Wednesday morning after a robbery occurred in Goodwood at 10:00. Police attached to Flying Squad followed up information about where the boxes were delivered and recovered more than 400 cartons in Albert Luthuli Street in Browns Farm. The vehicle that transported the cigarettes, was reported stolen in May 2016 in the Strand area. Police further recovered a jamming device (signal blocker) being charged inside the kitchen.
A 24-year-old suspect will be charged for the possession of stolen property, stolen vehicle and a signal blocker and he will appear in Goodwood Magistrate Court once charged.
Members were applauded for their quick response because the bakkie and cigarettes were recovered just in half an hour after the incident occurred.
