They were scheduled to appear before the Pretoria West Magistrate’s Court midweek.

Tlou, who owns the service workshop in Modimolle, said he last parked his car at his workshop in Modimolle on Monday 10 February, after work at around 17:00.

The next morning, Tuesday 11 February, the car was nowhere to be found.

Tlou reported the matter to the police in Modimolle.

He said the workshop was broken into.

Tlou also posted the photo of the stolen vehicle on Facebook, which led to the dramatic recovery of the allegedly stolen vehicle.

Tlou was last seen driving his car on the last day of the VDub Festival which was held at Forever Resorts Warmbaths in Bela-Bela.
