A VEHICLE hijacked in Sea Cow Lake was recovered thanks to Tracker SA, Greenwood Park SAPS and Marshall Security’s Special Operations Team on Monday (June 9).

A gang of armed suspects had allegedly held up the driver of the goods vehicle at about 12:00 on Boxwood Place.

“Through a co-ordinated response, the Toyota Hilux was successfully recovered on the N2 South, near the Inanda Road off-ramp. The vehicle was found still loaded with food and cold drink stock. It remains unclear if any goods were stolen during the hijacking. The vehicle owner opted not to open a case with the SAPS and the vehicle was returned to the owner,” explained Marshall Security spokesperson, Tyron Powell.

In a second incident, two men were detained after a stolen vehicle was recovered on Twilight Drive, uMhlanga, on Friday night (June 6).

In that case, Marshall Security’s Special Operations Team (SOT), together with Durban North SAPS and Excellerate Security members, stopped a Toyota Cross just after 21:00.

“A check of the registration plates showed they were registered to a SAPS provincial vehicle, yet the driver could not provide any police credentials. Durban North SAPS officers conducted a vehicle identification number (VIN) scan that confirmed the car is positively listed in a Sydenham theft-of-motor-vehicle case opened in May this year, identifying it as a stolen Toyota Cross,” he said.
