“Intelligence received led the police and our team to the location. Once the suspect spotted our team members he fled on foot. After a brief foot chase, the suspect was successfully apprehended. Regrettably, two boat motors had already been removed, and the signage on the boat was missing.
“The recovered boat and trailer have been transported back to Durban North SAPS, along with the suspect, for further investigation and processing,” he said.
