A man who fled after allegedly failing to pay for a battery fitted to his vehicle at a tyre & battery fitment centre was apprehended in Canelands – KZN today (Wednesday).
Members of Reaction Unit South Africa (RUSA) were called out approximately two (2) weeks ago after the fitment centre reported that the driver of a silver Opel Corsa bakkie had sped off without paying for a newly installed battery.
While on patrol today (Wednesday) on Vincent Dickenson Road in Canelands – KZN, a Reaction Officer noticed a vehicle matching the circulated description. The registration number also corresponded with the details previously provided.
The vehicle was stopped and the driver was interviewed. He confirmed that the battery had been fitted and claimed that he had forgotten to make payment of R900.
The Manager of the fitment centre arrived shortly thereafter and it was decided that the matter would be resolved between both parties….
