GQEBERHA - A 34-year-old man is due to appear in the Motherwell magistrates' court on a charge of possession of suspected stolen property after he was nabbed by SAPS Ikamvelihle members with stolen frozen chickens.

It is alleged that on Thursday, 26 January at about 12:30 police received information about a black Corsa bakkie busy off-loading bags of frozen chicken at a house in Ingwe Street, NU1, Motherwell. Upon arrival, members discovered that the garage was full of half frozen bags of chicken and that the driver of the bakkie was loading some of the bags into his bakkie. Further investigations revealed that a delivery truck carrying bags of chicken was hijacked earlier in the morning in Swartkops.
