SAPS members continue to rid the Uitenhage Cluster of criminal activities in line with our Back to Basics policing approach.
Vigilant police officials attached to the Uitenhage K9 were busy with patrols in the Uitenhage area, when they received valuable information about a suspicious vehicle. Members followed up on the information and noticed the vehicle driving in Ponana Tini Road, Kwanobuhle at about 13:40 on 7 August 2017.
Members pulled the vehicle off the road and through thorough and responsive investigations, the members discovered that the vehicle was stolen in the Mount Road policing area during February 2017. The 18-year old male suspect was arrested on the spot on a charge of possession of suspected stolen vehicle. The vehicle, a white Mazda 323, was also confiscated by the Vehicle Crime Identification Unit of SAPS.
The 18 year old male suspect is due to appear in the Kwanobuhle Magistrate’s Court on 10 August 2017 on a charge of possession of suspected stolen vehicle. Unrelenting efforts by SAPS members to advance in combating the theft of motor vehicles are also paying dividends, with the recovery of this suspected stolen vehicle.
The South African Police Service wants to encourage the community to work with the SAPS in reducing crime and they appeal to the community to provide valuable information that will lead to the arrest of suspects involved in crime.
