The EMPD Eastern Region Task Team recovered three stolen bakkies from a Sydney Road home last Thursday during a crime- prevention operation.
Acting on a tip-off from concerned members of the community about suspicious vehicles parked at the house where doubtful characters are at times seen in and out during the early hours of the mornings, the EMPD crime fighting team responded and visited the house at 5.30pm and found it empty.

“A white GWM Steed single cab, white Ford Ranger double cab and a white Kia K2700 parked inside the yard were tested.
“Officers learned that all three vehicles had false registration/number plates and licence discs, and were recently reported stolen within the City of Ekurhuleni, ” said EMPD spokesperson Kobeli Mokheseng.
The vehicles were impounded at the SAPS Van Ryn Deep Vehicle Pound in Benoni for safekeeping and the hunt is on for the owner of the house where the stolen vehicles were recovered.
