Approximately 108 tons of wheat/grain valued at R600 000 has allegedly been stolen while being transported between the Durban Harbour and Pietermaritzburg, in KwaZulu-Natal.
Reaction Unit South Africa (RUSA) is in possession of video footage, photographs, identification information and vehicle registration details relating to the suspects. This information is currently being withheld pending authorisation to release it publicly.
During the early hours of Saturday, 3 October 2026, three trucks were loaded with approximately R600 000 worth of grain destined for a factory in Pietermaritzburg – KZN.
All three drivers had been recently contracted to conduct deliveries, while two of the drivers were transporting their first load of wheat for the company.
The trucks, described as an Iveco, MAN and Daewoo, failed to reach their intended destination, each carrying 36 tons of grain.
According to information received, the drivers subsequently became evasive, providing incorrect locations and failing to respond to messages or answer telephone calls.
The facial identification of one foreign national and two South African nationals who have been identified as suspects during the investigation will be released pending the outcome of the investigation and the necessary authorisation.
