“With information of its movement from Tracker SA, the EMPD Equestrian Unit members were able to trace it to Benoni where it was found abandoned,” said Kgasago.
“The stolen Ford Ranger was recovered at about 12.10pm in Cloverdene, Benoni.”
Kgasago said the dashboard was stripped and the ignition damaged.
“Apparently, the thieves grew cold feet when realising they could not locate the tracker unit and decided to abandon the vehicle.”
No arrests have been made.
