In a statement, Blue Security Durban said its tactical officers received information from a client reporting a house break-in incident during which suspects had stolen a white Audi. The vehicle’s last known tracking co-ordinates indicated that it was in Illovo.
“The teams subsequently conducted searches in identified hotspot areas before proceeding to Folweni in an effort to locate the stolen vehicle. Although the initial searches were unsuccessful, members returned to Illovo and continued their search. Their persistence resulted in the successful recovery of the abandoned vehicle in the Lovu area,” read the statement.
Officers from the KwaMakhutha police station and the Trio Crimes Unit were contacted and attended the scene. After officers obtained the spare key from the owner, they took the recovered vehicle to the police station for further procedures.
