“The suspects managed to grind through the safe and retrieve the keys for the six cars that were taken. The total of the cars stolen adds up to millions of rands,” said provincial police spokesperson, Captain Kay Makhubela.
He added that there was no one at the dealership at the time of the burglary. A case of business burglary and theft was opened by the dealership with the police. Infiniti motors declined to comment on the theft.
Makhubela confirmed that three of the cars were recovered on 22 January in various areas. One vehicle was found in Berea, another in Kensington and the third car was found in Yeoville.
“We recovered two Mercedez-Benz [vehicles] and one Land Rover, however, no arrests have been made yet as the case is still under investigation.”
