Police then requested documentation for the load, but they were reportedly given documents indicating that the load was already delivered in Johannesburg on Wednesday, 11 January 2023. A foul play was suspected which led police to take the driver, tanker and the load to the police station for further questioning. When police were still busy with investigation, the owner of the tanker aged 44 arrived at the police station. He offered to pay an undisclosed amount of cash in exchange of the release of his tanker and its load.<\/P><P><\/P><P>According to information, the tanker owner left the police station and moments later returned with cash and tried to bribe the police.
