A MAN was arrested and a stolen motorcycle recovered following a high speed chase through the streets of Westville.
Blue Security said the incident began during a vehicle checkpoint operation which the security company held last week in collaboration with Metro Police and SAPS Westville.
“Upon approaching the checkpoint, a man in a motorcycle made a sudden U-turn and attempted to evade the operation by speeding off. Our tactical ambassador immediately pursued the motorcyclist, initiating a tense chase through the Westville area.”

The suspect abandoned the motorcycle and fled into a nearby bush.
“The tactical ambassador chased the suspect through the bush and arrested him. Additional roleplayers arrived to assist, and both the suspect and the motorcycle were handed over to SAPS for further investigation,” read the statement.
