GEORGE NEWS - The Thembalethu Neighbourhood Watch recovered items that were stolen from the new Tabata Primary School in Thembalethu about three weeks ago and the items were handed back to the school officials.
According to Lindile Snoek, a member of the neighbourhood watch, the items were recovered after they heard about a suspected stolen wheelbarrow that was being sold in Thembalethu.
"We followed up and indeed, the wheelbarrow belonged to the school. This led us to the recovery of other items," he said. Items that were discovered include two gas cylinders, a hosepipe and a bale of toilet paper."
No suspects have been arrested and the matter is being investigated.
