Two Glen Marais women were arrested after allegedly stealing their landlord’s car, leaving it at China Gate.
Benoni Flying Squad and a local security company recovered the stolen vehicle at the shopping mall in the early hours of November 25, reports Kempton Express.
According to W/O Grant Giblin, spokesperson for the flying squad, the black Toyota Yaris was stolen during the night of November 24 from a house on Dann Road where the two suspects rent a flatlet.
