“Messages were posted on numerous WhatsApp crime alert groups that the vehicle had been stolen,” said Marshall spokesperson, Tyron Powell.
Officers were informed to be on the lookout for the stolen vehicle.
“At approximately 17:50, less than three hours later, the team received information from an off-duty policeman on the possible whereabouts of the stolen vehicle,” said Powell.
“Members of our special operations team immediately responded to the location and managed to recover the stolen vehicle which was found abandoned in the basement parking of a local shopping centre in the Cornubia area,” he added.
The vehicle was handed back to the manager of the dealership as no case was opened or desired by the dealership.
