The K9 Intervention Unit was then called to the scene and members continued the pursuit of the men through a yard in Butler Road, scaling razor wire and electric fencing.
The men, however, briefly got away.
Response officers continued to search the area and found a Suzuki motorbike on the pavement near the side of the road, which had been stolen from a house in Waterbok Street.
The gate as well as the garage doors had been broken.
Other members and response companies then joined in the search and they spotted a suspicious Toyota Conquest and a white Ford bakkie.
They followed the vehicles and noted the bakkie had numerous items on the back.
The vehicles drove into the nearby rural area and were stopped.
