Free State police couple nabbed for alleged possession of gold-bearing material


Two police officers, a man aged 35 and his 33-year old wife, from the Odendaalsrus Police Station appeared in the Free State town's Magistrate's Court on Friday after their home was searched and officers allegedly found gold-bearing material and equipment used to process the material.

Police spokesperson, Captain Stephen Thakeng says the case was postponed to August 16 for further investigation and the man, a police sergeant, and the woman, a police constable, were granted bail of R2000 each.

On Thursday, officers from the Welkom K9 unit, crime intelligence unit, and Odendaalsrus Police Station searched the couple's home after obtaining a search warrant.

Thakeng says police confiscated possible gold-bearing material which weighed plus minus 4kg and equipment to process it.
