Sergeant Mmako Mophiring said the cellphones were worth about R100,000.

Three taxis coming from Pietermaritzburg were stopped at a roadblock and police found two suitcases abandoned in one of the taxis and realised that two male passengers were missing.

"One suspect was arrested in the evening trying to get a lift to Gauteng and the other one was arrested on the following morning," Mophiring said.

He said the cellphones could have been stolen during business burglaries at clothing chain stores or cellphone shops in KwaZulu-Natal.
