“Our team proceeded to the last known location, and once there, they observed the vehicle from a distance, strategically waiting for the suspects to return. The wait proved fruitful when two individuals arrived in a white Toyota Hilux at approximately 18:15, with one attempting to tow away the Ford Ranger,” he said.
Powell said members of KwaMakutha SAPS intercepted both vehicles, and the suspects were placed under arrest.
