On their [patrol officers’] arrival at a well-known business place in Melrose, they found a complainant who explained to them that there were three perpetrators who tried stealing his motor vehicle but after they bumped into a wall, the men then jumped out and ran away.
Masotsha said the complainant then pointed out a black carry bag containing five jamming machine bags. “Fortunately the motor vehicle was recovered and handed back to the lawful owner after the processing of everything. All the abandoned exhibits were booked in at the Norwood recovery register and will soon be taken to the forensic unit for a DNA test.
