Manhunt launched for four suspects following a business robbery in Mokopane

Mokopane, a town in Limpopo, South Africa, is currently under a manhunt for four suspects involved in a business robbery. The incident occurred on Saturday morning around 8am on the R101 highway. According to the South African Police Service (Saps), the victim was working at a telecommunications tower when the suspects arrived. Two of the suspects were armed with firearms, while the other two were handling the stolen goods.

The suspects managed to cut open the barricades, gaining access to the battery cube. They removed three cell phone tower batteries from the tower before fleeing the scene. The victim was tied up by the suspects and threatened, with his belongings and a concealed amount of money also taken from him. The police do not yet know the value of the stolen goods.

The suspects have tampered with vital infrastructure, making this a serious crime. A case has been opened and registered at the Mokopane Saps for further investigation. The police are urging anyone with information about the suspects to come forward immediately to help bring them to justice.
