A teenage boy (19) and his two accomplices have been arrested for being in possession of a stolen white VW Caddy.
The car was reported stolen in Jeppestown, Johannesburg, in December, last year.

The three suspects were busted by Kempton police during a stop-and-search operation on Friday night (last week).
“On September 18 at about 10pm, police from the Kempton Park Crime Prevention Unit, while conducting a stop-and-search at the corner of CR Swart and Kevin streets, spotted a suspicious-looking white VW Caddy with three occupants inside, and pulled it over,” police spokesperson Capt Jethro Mtshali said.
Upon further investigation, it was discovered the same vehicle was reported stolen in Jeppestown in December 2014.
The suspects aged 19, 27 and 31 will appear in the Kempton Park Magistrates Court soon on charges of possession of suspected stolen vehicle.
