The Cape of Good Hope SPCA is reeling in disbelief after Ncubeko Hloni, widely known as the Dunoon puppy seller, reportedly managed to escape from police custody on Saturday, just hours after he was arrested for attempting to sell sick puppies on Main Road in Green Point.
Hlonis arrest came as a result of vigilant members of the public who noticed that one of the puppies he was carrying appeared lethargic and unwell.
Their intervention led to Hloni being apprehended by a bystander before Green Point CID officers arrived on the scene to detain him.
