Between November 18 and 19, the EMP Eastern Region Task Team and Bronberg Precinct officers recovered a stolen motor vehicle during a by-law operation in Brakpan and Petit (Benoni).
The EMPD Eastern Region Task Team officers received a tip-off about a stolen motor vehicle and followed up on the information.
A vehicle matching the description, a white Nissan NP200, was spotted abandoned on Main Reef Road in the Plastic City informal settlement, and was taken to a police pound.
Meanwhile, the EMPD also responded to complaints about a trucking company at the corner of Pretoria and Jay roads in Benoni causing obstruction to traffic and posing a possible accident hazard.
