According to Marshall Security spokesperson Tyron Powell, the company’s Emergency Dispatch Centre received information about the vehicle and immediately circulated its details to armed response officers in the area.

Durban North SAPS attended the scene shortly afterwards and the suspects were taken to the Durban North police station for further investigation and processing.
Powell said the recovery highlighted the importance of information sharing and co-operation between private security companies and the police.

The suspects are expected to face further investigation and processing by police.
