ET Rapid Response South Coast managing member Tony Lokker said their tactical response team responded to a vehicle tracking signal in the Illovo area at about 1pm.

Three men were surprised in the process of stripping a Hyundai H100,” said Lokker.
“Once all units arrived, it was quickly established that this spot was a well used ‘chop shop’. Four other H100s were also found on the property and further investigations are underway.
“Well done boys, this was a good arrest by all involved.”
