A law enforcement teams apprehend money laundering suspects in Dr KK District joint operation conducted by Rustenburg Detectives, Klerksdorp Crime Prevention, and Potchefstroom Flying Squad has culminated in the apprehension of four suspects allegedly involved in possession of suspected stolen property and money laundering in Dr Kenneth Kaunda District.

Alleged players in the scheme
“The operation was initiated based on actionable intelligence, leading law enforcement officers to a residence in Kanana near Orkney. There, they arrested Sesing Tsabane (32), a citizen of Lesotho, after discovering chemicals commonly used in the laundering of dye-stained notes in his possession,” Col Myburgh said in a statement.
Subsequent investigations led the authorities to another house in Extension 5, Alabama, where a substantial amount of dye-stained money was found. Letlala Elias Qabano (36), Joshua Molibeli (34), and Molefe Abel Fusi (26), all hailing from Lesotho, were apprehended at the scene.

Law enforcement teams collaboration
In her statement, Col Myburgh commended the collaborative efforts of the law enforcement teams involved in the operation. She emphasised the SAPS’s relentless commitment to combating crime and ensuring the safety and security of communities within the province.
Furthermore, Col Myburgh hinted at the possibility of linking the apprehended suspects to other criminal activities, such as ATM-bombing cases, as the investigation progresses.
