Suspect strips his vehicle and reports ‘hijacking’ at Kempton SAPS

Police received information from someone who alleges he saw the suspect strip his vehicle and remove parts from it.

Kempton Park SAPS arrested a suspect on perjury charges on Monument Road on Saturday.

It is alleged the 45-year-old suspect went to Kempton Park Police Station and reported a car hijacking.

“The suspect alleged he was robbed of his white Toyota Quantum at gunpoint,” said Sgt Dipuo Ditshego, deputy spokesperson for Kempton Park SAPS.

“Minutes after the hijacking case was opened someone else walked into the charge office and told police the suspect faked that he was hijacked and that they saw him strip his vehicle and remove the gearbox and tyres, among other things.”

The suspect was arrested on the same day he reported the ‘hijacking’.
