N3

Colonel Jacob considered the crime scene to be only the container, not the depot itself, and logistical challenges prevented moving or sealing up the container at the depot.

“My actual concern is the crime scene, which is the container. The depot plays no real role in anything. ... Do I seal up that container and take the whole container to another workspace? ... If this container was at the rear of a truck travelling on the N3 and we pulled over this truck, do I now say the side of the N3 is my crime scene ... My point being ... is the container. The depot plays no role ... I made a decision ... this is not an offence that required uplifting physical evidence from the depot.”
