Sandton police urge residents to assist them on a manhunt
SANDTON – Sandton police on a manhunt for Hyde Park resident Richard Matsimbe who allegedly fled with cars worth millions at a car dealership, using fake documents.
The Sandton Police Station has launched a massive manhunt for Richard Matsimbe who is wanted for theft and fraud after allegedly fleeing with cars worth a total of R12m at a car dealership.
According to the Sandton Police Station, Matsimbe had made a deal with a Sandton-based car dealership. He was able to reach a mutual agreement with the owner to purchase a number of vehicles: Lamborghini Aventador, Porsche Cayenne GTS, BMW 7 Series and a Mercedes Benz.
After months of signing papers and leaving with the vehicles, the car dealership realised that the 35-year-old man was using fake documents. He was reported on counts of theft and fraud by the dealership company.
The suspect, who is known to be a Hyde Park resident, has been on the run since his last deal with the car dealership in early January. A warrant of arrest has been issued for Matsimbe.
The Station Commander of the Sandton Police Station, Brigadier Egen Moodley, urges the community to assist the station in finding the suspect.
