North West vigilantes arrested


Fifteen people have been arrested, after they allegedly set fire to a businessman's vehicles, and broke down a wall at his home in a village near Lehurutshe in North West.

Police spokesperson, Brigadier Thulani Ngubane says local residents accused the man of being involved in a ritual murder, after a body was found next to his business premises.

He says close to 350 angry community members allegedly gathered and held a meeting , before going to the business premises.

Ngubane says the community members allegedly set fire to a bakkie and a sedan, and damaged the property of the man they accused of murder.

They also destroyed a wall and broke windows of the building.

The 15 will appear in Court on Monday.
