Two suspects nabbed for a break-in and theft of computer equipment worth 200k at a North West school this past week:

POTCHEFSTROOM - South African Police Service detectives from the Morokweng and the Mompati districts in the North West have arrested two suspects, aged 25 and 27, following yet another break-in and theft of expensive computer equipment at a school this past week, the SAPS in the province said on Sunday.

It was alleged that the school principal found on arrival at the school at about 8.10am on Tuesday, August 4 that the strongroom had been broken into. Upon inspection, he established that brand new laptop computers, tablets, a projector, and a camera, together valued at about R215,000, had been stolen. A case of burglary was registered for investigation, Mokgwabone said.

"Furthermore, the team recovered 10 suspected stolen sheep, which were kept in a makeshift kraal in the yard where the suspects were arrested. Further investigation revealed that the sheep were stolen in Ganyesa, between Vryburg and Morokweng. They were all positively identified by the lawful owner," Mokgwabone said.
