Four people were arrested by police in Westernburg , Limpopo after they were caught offloading an assortment of groceries stolen in a truck hijacking in Delmas.

Over a million worth of goods were recovered when police acted on a tip off that suspected stolen goods were being offloaded at a supermarket in Nirvana near Polokwane.
