Kagisanong Police in a joint operation with the Bloemfontein Flying Squad have arrested five men in connection with the theft of property from Hodisa Technical School. The suspects, aged between 21 and 34 were found in possession of stolen air conditioners, copper pipes, a Bosch grinder, and a Bosch drill.
