JUDGE WILSON
: As I understand your evidence, it was the car you found, not Mr May. Mr May then appeared on the scene when he started running away and that is when you got him. It was the car that you found at that address which you then identified as a stolen vehicle?
INSP. DE LA REY: That is correct Mr Chairperson. The car that actually led us to arresting accused No. 1 and the other persons. After I found the car there and identified it as being the accused missing vehicle that is where the whole thing originated, from there the arrests of 1, 2, 3 and 4 followed.
ADV. MTHEMBU: On paragraph 17, Inspector, Mr Nkgwedi and Mr Leeuw, they deny that they gave you information to go to House No. 3269 but that the information relating to accused No. 4 was given to you by Mr May?
INSP. DE LA REY: Mr Chairperson, accused 1, 2 and 3 gave me information and the address 1684 K. Accused 4 was not found there and there we were given a report that he was at another house visiting and another person then led us to address 3269. In that house accused 1, 2 and 3 then took me to the home of the accused No. 4 although at that stage he wasn't there somebody else we found at the house took us to this other address where we then found accused No. 4.
ADV. MTHEMBU: At that stage, Inspector, where you aware if money had also being taken during the robbery or not?
INSP. DE LA REY: That is correct, Mr Chairperson. There was a sum of money and if I remember it was about R500.00 in cash that was taken during the robbery.
ADV. MTHEMBU: And when accused No. 4 was arrested you found the sum of R102.85c in his person. Is that correct?
INSP. DE LA REY: That is correct, Mr Chair.
ADV. MTHEMBU: And did you ask him whose money it was?
INSP. DE LA REY: I did ask him and that is how I also took possession of it because it was mentioned to me that it was money coming from the deceased house and on the grounds of that I seized this money.
ADV. MTHEMBU: Accused No. 4 says that it was his personal money and it had nothing to do with the money taken from the house during the robbery.
INSP. DE LA REY: That is not right. Accused No. 4 told me that it was money which they had found in the deceased house and that is why I then confiscated the money. He did not tell me that it was his personal property.
ADV. MTHEMBU: When Elizabeth Nglani handed over to you the blue plastic bag were the accused present or not?
INSP. DE LA REY: At that stage it was just accused No. 3's wife who was in the house because the space was very limited and it wasn't possible to have everybody in the house. She went in and made a report and the goods were handed over to us.
ADV. MTHEMBU: All the four applicants say that they do not know where you found this blue plastic bag and avail that this plastic bag was also in the car?
INSP. DE LA REY: Mr Chairperson, that is not so, the bag was with accused No. 3's common-law wife that was at home 469 E and we came out with the bag and the accused must have seen the bag at that point because the evidence had been identified and marked already and placed in the vehicle and accused No. 3 was in the vehicle at the time so he must have seen this bag with us.
ADV. DE JAGER: How far was this house where the bag was found at 1684 K. Accused 4's home is that correct. I beg your pardon, 1766 C. the bag was handed to you from the house where the motor vehicle had been parked.
