Members of the Boksburg North SAPS crime prevention, with the assistance of other security clusters, recently arrested three suspects who were driving a reported stolen vehicle.
The vehicle was believed to have been used to commit a string of house break-ins in Brakenhurst.
According to Boksburg North SAPS spokesperson Justice Ramaube, the officers spotted the vehicle – a dark grey BMW – at Field Street in Witfield and a chase ensued.
“The suspects where cornered at the Jetpark on-ramp. An investigation revealed that the vehicle was stolen in Middelburg, Mpumalanga,” said Ramaube.
Ramaube said when the police searched the vehicle, house break-in implements, such as a four-pound hammer, a crowbar, as well as cards belonging to victims who opened cases in Brakenhurst were recovered.
“All three suspects were detained at the Boksburg North SAPS and will be charged with possession of a stolen vehicle fitted with wrong registration numbers and possession of house break-in implements,” Ramaube said.
