The black bags full of counterfeit sneakers found near the Lebombo Border Post.
Black refuse bags wrapped with tape and abandoned near the Lebombo Border Post yielded counterfeit sneakers worth more than R3 million on Saturday.
According to Sgt Gerald Sedibe of Mpumalanga SAPS, a passerby spotted the bags in the bush next to the N4 and alerted the police. The bags contained various brands of counterfeit sneakers.
No suspects have been identified yet.
Two days later, police in Piet Retief stopped three vehicles loaded with counterfeit clothing and sneakers. Sedibe stated that police received a tip-off early on Monday morning that illicit goods were being transported from KwaZulu-Natal to Gauteng.
The vehicles were identified, stopped and five suspects were arrested.
Ricardo Martin (33), Ligolunkwu Obisili (37), Thabo Vusi Mthembu (23), Zenzele Mathe (31) and Sibusiso Ndlovu (33) appeared in the Piet Retief Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday.
They were remanded in custody until Tuesday, when they will appear at the same court.
