Stolen goods worth R400 000 recovered in Korsten - owners advised to contact police

A 30-year-old Malawian national, Tubooy Mussa, appeared in the Gelvandale Magistrates' Court on Monday on a charge of possession of stolen property and was remanded in custody until next Monday for a formal bail application.

This was after detectives from the Operational Command Centre, Crime Combating Unit and Crime Intelligence pounced on a house in Stemella Street, in Korsten, late on Saturday evening in an Intelligence driven operation and recovered suspected stolen goods worth nearly half a million.

"Police received information that stolen goods are been stored at the house. A 30-year-old Malawian national was arrested and detained on a charge of possession of suspected stolen property," said Port Elizabeth police.
