“We informed Durban North SAPS who arrived to assist in pulling the vehicle over where one suspect was immediately apprehended. The stolen vehicle, together with the suspect, were transported to the station,” he explained.
Powell confirmed the suspect was charged with being in possession of a suspected stolen vehicle.
In a separate incident on the same day, the SOT assisted C Track and Bidtrack ground teams to help recover a hijacked Toyota Hilux taken in KwasMashu.
“Our team members immediately responded, and after an extensive track, the vehicle was eventually found abandoned on a dirt road in A-Section Kwamashu where it was recovered by members of our Special Ops Team, C Track ground team, Bidvest ground team and KwaMashu SAPS,” he said.
