Stolen cars are being sold online

The owner of the vehicle that was hijacked in Sophiatown saw it advertised online and asked the police to accompany him to the seller.

MOFFATVIEW SAPS assisted a Sophiatown man to claim his hijacked vehicle back after it was put on sale online.

The police accompanied the owner to The Glen Shopping Mall where the seller had agreed to meet with the rightful owner, who posed as a potential buyer, on Tuesday, October 18.

The seller sent another man, who has now been arrested for possession of a stolen vehicle, to showcase the vehicle. The seller was arrested later and both suspects will appear in the Johannesburg Magistrate’s Court soon.
