A Toyota truck stolen in Norkem Park was recovered in Katlehong by the metro police on Monday.
Information and GPS coordinates of the stolen truck led EMPD Public Order Policing Unit members to the recovery of the truck at 7.30am, said Chief Supt Wilfred Kgasago, metro police spokesperson.
“The truck was traced to Pule Street in Katlehong, where it was found abandoned. The dashboard of the truck was found badly damaged. It is suspected the perpetrators were searching for the tracking unit to remove it so as to avoid detection.”
The truck was towed to Katlehong Police Station for further investigations and safe keeping before being taken to the SAPS Van Ryn pound in Benoni.
