The Ventersburg Post Office is the third post office in Matjhabeng to fall prey to armed robbers since December 2021. During the robbery on Monday (04/04) three suspects were arrested and one fatally wounded (photo). On receiving information the SAPS launched a joint operation involving different units, and confronted the suspects who tried to flee. Two pistols, ammunition, cash and a white Datsun Go were seized. Preliminary investigations revealed that it had been stolen in Navalsig, Bloemfontein, in December 2021. The SAPS found false Northern Cape number plates on the stolen vehicle. Lt. Gen. Baile Motswenyane, police commissioner of the Free State, applauded this team, as well as the community of Ventersburg for trusting the police. Photo: SAPS
