The people concerned were operating at three different street corners in Cape Road and were taken to the Mount road Police Station. The bags were identified as municipal property by holding them up against the light, whereuopon the letters “PEM” (referring to the former Port Elizabeth Municipality) could be discerned.
The Municipality requests the public to be mindful of the fact that refuse bags bought from street vendors may be stolen property.
