A 59-year-old man was arrested on June 19, for being in possession of stolen car parts.

“The officers found a Toyota Hilux which had already been cut up; the body parts belonged to a Hilux that was stolen in Carltonville.

“Other suspicious storage units were searched and other stolen body and vehicle parts were found, using ‘microdot’ on Diepsloot and Boksburg North cases, said Maritz.

The suspect was detained at Crystal Park Police Station.
