Primrose SAPS recently arrested a 24-year-old woman for possession of a stolen car.
The arrest was made when the police received a complaint about a vehicle that had been stopped in School Avenue for longer then was deemed necessary.
Officers travelled to the scene to investigate further.
“Upon their arrival, officers tested the vehicle’s details to determine if it had been stolen,” said Const Styles Maome, communication officer for the Primrose police.
“The officers found nothing out of the ordinary and continued on their patrol.
During their patrol officers noticed the same car, which then had a different registration and was being driven by a woman.
Maome said: “Our officers became suspicious and stopped and tested the ‘new’ vehicle’s details.
“The test came out positive and showed the car had been stolen and was linked to an Evander SAPS case number.”
Officers arrested the woman and transported her to the Primrose Police Station, where she was detained at the Primrose Police Station, pending her appearance in the Germiston Magistrates Court.
