Johannesburg - Ten people have been arrested in Northdale, Pietermaritzburg, for possession of cosmetic products allegedly stolen from a truck, KwaZulu-Natal police said on Saturday.
They were allegedly seen loading the products from a warehouse into five vehicles, said Captain Thulani Zwane.
“Through investigation, it appeared that the goods, all cosmetics, were taken from the truck that was allegedly hijacked at Cato Ridge on Tuesday.”
