Johannesburg’s Serious Organised Crime Investigation arrested a 52-year-old man for possession of suspected stolen vehicles in Malanshof, Randburg on Thursday 13 August 2020.

The elite team followed up on information about a possible lead on an attempted cash-in-transit robbery in Florida earlier in the day. Two vehicles, a Ford Focus and an Audi, fitting the description of the vehicles alleged to have been involved in an attempted cash-in-transit robbery during the day, were identified in a yard in Malanshof.

Both vehicles were reported hijacked in Douglasdale last October and in Sunnyside last month respectively. The vehicle keys were found in the suspect’s possession which resulted in his immediate arrest. He is scheduled to make his first court appearance in the Randburg Magistrate’s Court on Monday, 18 August 2020.
