Car chase leads to arrest of repeat offender
The man was found to have been arrested previously for car theft and had a case pending against him for a similar incident.
A HIGH speed chase led to the arrest of a man with a criminal record by Greenwood Park SAPS, yesterday. The pursuit came after station members were alerted by 10111 that a car, stolen from the Tongaat district, was heading toward the area. The crime prevention unit were on a routine patrol at the time on Wednesday, 22 March.
“The car then passed members of the unit while they waited along the route they expected the suspect to take. The high speed pursuit followed and the police stopped the car in the Kenville area before immediately arresting the man,” said the station’s spokesperson, W/O Leon Audh.
W/O Audh went on to say that W/O Omesh Bikrumlal of Greenwood Park SAPS station then discovered that the suspect had previously been arrested by SAPS Berea for car theft and also had a case pending against him about a vehicle he had allegedly stolen in the Chatsworth area.
