The Galeshewe Family, Child, and Sexual Offences Unit (FCS) confirms that they successfully traced the mother of twin girls and arrested her on Saturday, 14 May 2022. This comes after the mother contravened a court order and kidnapped the children on Friday, 06 May 2022 from their grandmother, in whose care they were placed by means of a court order.

A police tracing team that worked around the clock, ensured the arrest of the suspect and the safe re-uniting of the twins with the grandmother.

The suspect will appear in Court on Monday 16 May 2022.

The Unit Commander Lt Colonel Marli Strydom extended her appreciation to the public for their support and assistance in locating the suspect and commended Sgt Van Rensburg, Sgt Adam’s and Secretary Damoense for spending sleepless nights ensuring the arrest and safe return of the twins.
