FAILURE to provide receipts of fuel purchases has landed a 54-year-old man behind bars in Oshakati.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
According to Nampol spokesperson Chief Inspector Elifas Kuwinga, the suspect was arrested around 00:30 at Santorini filling station in Oshakati on Saturday.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Kuwinga said the suspect was found in possession of 25 containers holding 25 litres each with an estimated total value of N$10 087.50.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The containers were reportedly transported with the suspect\u2019s white Nissan hardbody at the time of the arrest.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
“The suspect failed to provide the receipt of purchasing such fuel to police officers and was arrested,” Kuwinga said.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He said that fuel is a dangerous, flammable product not to be handled carelessly.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
“It is advisable to acquaint ourselves with petroleum products and the Energy Act, Act 13 of 1990,\u201d Kuwinga said.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
There are suitable cars or trucks made to transport fuel and a Nissan hardbody is not one of them,” he said.<\/p>\n

Kuwinga stated that if a person is found with such a huge amount of dangerous flammables, they should be able to produce proof of purchase.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Police investigation into the matter continues.<\/p>\n
