Three Mozambican nationals arrested near Komatipoort in two stolen vehicles
Three Mozambican nationals were apprehended near Komatipoort on their way to the Lebombo Port of Entry on Monday February 12. The police were acting on information about two stolen vehicles from Edenvale and Garsfontein.
On Monday February 12, three Mozambican nationals, one aged 39 and the other two 41, were arrested a few kilometres from the Lebombo Port of Entry. During the arrest, two vehicles, reported stolen, were recovered.
The arrest followed the police’s response to information about two Toyota RAV4s, allegedly stolen in Edenvale and Garsfontein earlier during the month. The first vehicle, reportedly from Edenvale, contained two occupants, and was intercepted as it was being driven towards Komatipoort at about 16:20. The second vehicle, reportedly from Garsfontein, was recovered after it passed Komatipoort. One suspect, the driver, was arrested at about 21:00.
All three suspects are expected to appear in the Komatipoort Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday February 14, on charges of possession of suspected stolen vehicles.
The police said they cannot rule out the possibility of adding more charges related to these cases of stolen vehicles.
