A 33-year-old suspect is set to appear in the Mamelodi Magistrates’ Court on Monday charged with possession of a hijacked vehicle and stolen property. This as Mamelodi East spokesperson Constable Lethabo Mashiloane said members of the Mamelodi East police, working with Tshwane Crime Intelligence, followed up on information regarding a suspect linked to a series of carjacking cases in the area. Mashiloane said the integrated team conducted an intelligence-driven operation in Lusaka where e-hailing vehicles were reportedly being hijacked. “The members proceeded to an identified address and conducted a search,” he said. Police arrested the suspect on Thursday. Mashiloane added that the search led to team members recovering a number of car keys, cellphones, WiFi routers, car parts, bank cards and various other items.
