Benoni Flying Squad members recovered four elephant tusks on October 20.
At around 17:00, Sergeant Jaco Powell and Constable Juan-Mare Eksteen were
patrolling Brakpan next to the rugby stadium when they noticed a man
carrying a bag.
On seeing the SAPS vehicle, the person ran into the open field and dropped
the bag.
Members recovered the bag and found four elephant tusks inside.
Unfortunately, the suspect managed to escape.
However, a member from the Local Criminal Record Centre visited the scene
to gather evidence from the exhibit.
Investigation continues into the origins of the tusks and tracing of the
suspect.
