Two men were arrested on the N1 by the Trompsburg Highway Patrol in the Free Sate province of South Africa for possession of abalone early this morning, 4 June.
The SAPS says at about 4 am Trompsburg Highway Patrol members were conducting a stop and search on the N1 just outside Trompsburg town.
They stopped a white Toyota Hilux bakkie(van) that had a canopy with painted windows. In the back of the van police found about 53 black rubbish bags filled with abalone.
