THE CANADIAN PRESS/Sean Kilpatrick A teenager from Quebec has been charged in a motor vehicle theft and an attempted theft in Woolwich Township. The Waterloo Regional Police Service (WRPS) said an officer was patrolling in the Barnswallow Drive and Whippoorwill Drive area on Thursday around 4:30 a.m. when they saw a grey Toyota Tundra speeding along the street. Due to public safety concerns, the officer did not pursue the driver. Investigators determined the truck has been stolen from a home on Barnswallow Drive and linked the incident to the attempted theft of a Toyota Sequoia on Nightingale Crescent around 3:10 a.m. Officers later spotted the stolen Toyota Tundra on Highway 8 around 4:55 a.m. They said they saw the driver pull onto the eastbound lanes of Highway 401. WRPS worked with members of the Ontario Provincial Police to stop the driver just east of Highway 6. The driver, a 16-year-old from Quebec, was arrested and charged with theft of a motor vehicle, attempted theft of a motor vehicle, possession of stolen property over $5,000 and possession of a device for vehicle theft.

Two men in court after being caught with unwrought gold valued at R16m
Daniel Schubert and Adriaan Petrus du Plessis appeared in the Kempton Park magistrate's court on Thursday for possession of suspected stolen property and possession of unwrought gold worth R16m. Schubert, 61, and Du Plessis, 49, appeared in court following their arrest after the Germiston-based Serious Organised Crime Investigation unit of the Hawks received information about people in a grey BMW travelling from the Free State with the aim of selling the gold in Gauteng. 'The multidisciplinary team spotted the vehicle on the R21 and it was successfully pulled over. Upon searching the vehicle and the occupants, the team discovered a bag containing 80 gold bars weighing 100g each and with an estimated value of R16m,' Hawks spokesperson Col Katlego Mogale said. The two men could not furnish the officers with documentation for transporting such materials and they were arrested for unlawful possession of unwrought gold and possession of suspected stolen property. Their matter was remanded to May 22 for a formal bail application. The pair remains in custody. 'The Hawks remain steadfast in their mission to dismantle illegal mining and smuggling networks. Criminals must understand that no-one is beyond the reach of the law,' said Hawks Gauteng head Maj-Gen Ebrahim Kadwa. TimesLIVE
