A 27-year-old man was arrested on Friday last week for possession of a stolen motor vehicle in Ivory Park, Extension 13.
The Ivory Park SAPS communications officer, Warrant Officer Neldah Sekgobela, said Ivory Park police officers were patrolling the area when they received information to be on the look-out for a white Isuzu bakkie. The vehicle was fitted with a tracking device.
“The officers were told the tracking signal was coming from an area in Ivory Park Extension 13. While driving around, the officers noticed the bakkie which was parked next to a house. The officers stopped and investigated. A man was found inside the vehicle but was unable to prove ownership of the vehicle. The suspect was arrested and detained at the Ivory Park SAPS,” said W/O Sekgobela.
The suspect is expected to appear in the Tembisa Magistrate’s Court soon, on the charge of possession of a suspected stolen motor vehicle.
