#sapsNC [FIVE SUSPECTS ARRESTED FOR ILLEGAL POSSESSION OF AN ENDANGERED PANGOLIN IN KURUMAN]
The South African Police Service (SAPS) in the Northern Cape has arrested five suspects following the discovery of a live adult pangolin during a routine vehicle search in the Kuruman Central Business District (CBD).
The Kuruman Highway Patrol members arrested four males, aged between 24 and 43, and a 35-year-old female on Tuesday, 10 November 2026, at approximately 13:30.
The suspects will face charges relating to the illegal possession of an endangered species in terms of the National Environmental Management: Biodiversity Act (NEMBA).
At the time of the incident, members were conducting high-density patrols as part of Operation Shanela II in Kuruman when they noticed a grey Renault vehicle approaching the traffic circle near Kuruman Mall. The vehicle came to a standstill upon noticing the police vehicle, raising the members' suspicions.
Police members subsequently observed a person known to them inside the vehicle and allowed it to proceed before pulling it over for a routine inspection.
During the search, members discovered a live adult pangolin concealed inside a red carry bag. The five occupants were immediately arrested.
The suspects are expected to appear in the Kuruman Magistrate's Court soon.
The SAPS reminds the public that the illegal possession, capture and poaching of protected and endangered wildlife are criminal offences.
Communities, particularly in areas of the John Taolo Gaetsewe District where wildlife-related crimes have been reported, are urged to refrain from engaging in poaching activities and to report any information relating to the illegal trade or possession of endangered species to the police.
The Acting District Commissioner of John Taolo Gaetsewe District, Brigadier Kenneth Baloyi, commended the members for their alertness and swift response, which resulted in the apprehension of the five suspects and the recovery of the endangered animal.
The SAPS remains committed to protecting endangered wildlife and combating environmental crimes.
Members of the public are encouraged to work with the police by sharing information that could assist in preventing wildlife-related offences and safeguarding the country's natural heritage. #EnviroCrimes ML
