Bloemfontein ? Free State police on Tuesday confiscated goods worth about R2m used in the illegal copying of music at a house in Kimberley.
Captain Cherelle Ehlers said police and members of the Record Industry of South Africa raided a house in Klisserville.
"They raided the premises just after lunch (Tuesday) after information was received."
Ehlers said CDs, computers, computer hard drives, jukeboxes, printers and CD shuttles were confiscated.
Police said the owner of the house would face criminal charges in terms of the Copyright Act.
Ehlers said the person, who was arrested and not identified, had been charged for similar offences in the past.
