A few minutes later, one suspect exited the house and got into the vehicle. As he was about to drive off, the police approached and stopped him. He could not explain how he came into possession of the vehicle, and took the police into the house, where he pointed out his brother as the one who had brought the car to their home.
Police then searched the house and the suspect’s brother pointed out some home appliances and computer equipment which he alleged had been stolen during a house burglary.
Both brothers, aged 30 and 37 respectively, were arrested and later detained at Kagiso Police Station where a case docket of possession of a hijacked motor vehicle and stolen goods was opened.
They are expected to appear briefly in court soon.
