    A Grahamstown man was first surprised, then relieved, to have his Weber-type braai returned to him yesterday afternoon – before he even knew it had been stolen, reports Captain Milanda Coetzer, area crime intelligence officer.

    A Grahamstown man was first surprised, then relieved, to have his Weber-type braai returned to him yesterday afternoon – before he even knew it had been stolen, reports Captain Milanda Coetzer, area crime intelligence officer.

    Coetzer is a SAPS representative on the National Arts Festival's Joint Operations Committee, responsible for co-ordinating logistics and managing public safety during the 11-day period.

    Warrant officers Chris Duiker, Nathan Hoffman, Heindricht Strauss and Tim Hackart were out on patrol and questioned a man carrying the braai on the corner of African Street and Oatlands Road.

    They became suspicious when the man claimed he'd found the close to new braai and its smart, shiny stand at the municipal rubbish dump.

    After extensive questioning, the man pointed to a house in Milner Street, from which it had been stolen.

    "Although the man was most surprised and very pleased to see his braai returned, he did not wish to press charges," said Coetzer.
