The police are pursuing two more suspects in connection with the theft at President Cyril Ramaphosa's Phala Phala farm, says Hawks boss Lt-Gen Godfrey Lebeya.
“As we are sitting here, we are pursuing the other two. We will be able to communicate when we get hold of them. They are currently not in the country, which is why it has not been easy to get hold of them,” he said.
Three suspects have already been arrested in connection with the 2020 theft.
Lebeya was briefing the media on Hawks successes in the second quarter of the 2023/2024 financial year.
