The police are also on the lookout for an orange Ford Ranger bakkie, registration CYD 983 L, that was stolen recently.
According to the information they received from police, there is a problem with getting the tracking information timeously enough from the owners to assist them with speedily recovering the vehicles.
Edwel suggested that people should store their vehicle’s tracking information on their phones in order to monitor it and assist the police by supplying them with needed information speedily.
