“When they arrived they asked him where the tyre had come from, but he was unable to give an explanation,” said Sgt Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose police.
He was arrested and taken to the station where he was formally charged.
He has since appeared in the Germiston Magistrate’s Court, where his case was postponed for plea and trial.
