“The suspects made off with several items including the homeowner’s Audi sedan. The stolen vehicle was circulated to all our response vehicles to be on the lookout. A short while later the vehicle was spotted still idling on the N2 southbound before the KwaMashu off-ramp and was recovered by our Special Operations Team and members of the SAPS,” he said.
