The Bangladeshis, Moshair Hossain and Mustafa Kamai Sajib appeared in court together last week with a special constable Abednico Mothaba, Zimbabwean Joseph Kateya, South African Lazarus Bhebhe, locals Kabo Ngwenya, Khumo Tibone, Edwin Sereme and Chesta Mehlwa Tshelele for allegedly breaking into and stealing goods especially plasma television sets of various types from Nihama Pty Ltd and Super Life Trading storeroom on October 20, October 9 and October 31.

In total the accused are alleged to have stolen goods amounting to close to P420,000. The Bangladesh nationals then made an urgent court application at the High Court praying with the court to grant them bail.
