Dlamini said the officers received information from a well-known tracking company about a hijacked white Toyota Hilux bakkie in the Thembisa area.
The officers acted on the information and followed the tracking coordinates that picked up the vehicle to be on the R21.
Dlamini said the officers spotted the vehicle matching the description and stopped it.
“Two men found inside the vehicle were arrested after failing to provide satisfactory answers for being in possession of the vehicle,” said Dlamini.
The vehicle was taken to Aeroton Police Pound and the suspects are expected to appear at the Kempton Park Magistrate’s Court soon.
