“When officers saw the vehicle they stopped and investigated why it was parked on the roadway without occupants in it,” said Mokheseng.
He said officers proceeded to contact the 10111 callcentre and were informed the vehicle was stolen.
“SAPS Forensic Unit were called to take fingerprints from the Toyota RunX.”
Mokheseng said the vehicle appeared to be in a good condition and was towed to SAPS’ Van Ryn Deep pound in Benoni for safekeeping and further investigation.
