They reported the matter and it was recorded under OB number 66/13/06/17.Moriase told journalists that the officers are gathering incriminating evidence before making arrests.
He noted that they will try to identify the culprits using an identification parade.
“This incident happened at about 9am, but they reported it in the afternoon. We don’t arrest then look for evidence. We gather evidence that can sustain a charge, then arrest,” he said as reported by Star.
