Three arrested after vehicle chase on N1 highway

The vehicle chase was said to have started in Johannesburg.

Three people were arrested when a vehicle chase ended along the N1 highway just after the Rigel Avenue off-ramp, east of Pretoria.

Tshwane police flying squad spokesperson Constable Bontle Rahatji said the chase ensued in Johannesburg before coming to an abrupt end when the driver of the allegedly stolen vehicle crashed into another bakkie.

“The suspects then jumped out of the Volkswagen Caddy and into a Hyundai H1,” she said.

Private tracking and security companies were said to have then pursued the second vehicle until it was brought to a stop.

“No injuries were recorded,” she said.

The trio of men were expected to appear in court soon on a charge of possession of a stolen motor vehicle.

Rahatji commended the prompt response of Sergeants Tshepo Mohajane and Thapelo Ntsoana.
