KIMBERLEY: Police in Kakamas have arrested a male suspect in connection with closing the N14 road earlier today.

The commumity of Luitzburg in Kakamas conducted illegal mining of quartz stones in the farm of a local farmer. The illegal miners did not have permit, hence police intervention. One suspect was arrested and digging equipment was confiscated.

After the arrest, community members went on the rampage and barricaded the N14 road.

The road is currently open and a case against the organisers of the road closure in terms of the Disaster Management Act regulations will be opened.

Police are monitoring the situation.

The arrested suspect is expected to appear before the Kakamas Magistrates court soon pending further police investigations.
