“When the suspects noticed our members, they fled,” said Marshall Security spokesperson Tyron Powell.
During the chase, the suspect that was driving lost control of the vehicle on Umgeni Road in the Morningside area, and the suspects were apprehended. Unfortunately, the third suspect managed to evade arrest.
The Durban Central SAPS were informed and arrived on scene a short while later.
“Upon searching the vehicle, various car-breaking implements, a police radio scanner and vehicle computer boxes used to steal vehicles were found,” said Powell.

Further investigations established that the number plates on the vehicle were false and that the VIN on the suspects’ vehicle was tampered with and could possibly have been stolen.
It is believed that the suspects are linked to numerous theft-of-motor-vehicle incidents in the Morningside area.
