The Hawks’ Serious Commercial Crime Investigation team has recovered a Porsche Macan Turbo to the value of R 2.4 million after they acted on information. The vehicle was allegedly purchased using false particulars in Sandton, Johannesburg along with three other vehicles on 27 September 2017. Consequently a case was opened and the vehicles were circulated.

The 2017 model Porsche Macan Turbo was recovered on 14 March 2019 after it was booked in and abandoned at a vehicle service centre in Cape Town. Suspicion was raised when it was discovered at the centre that there were attempts to alter the particulars of the vehicle (VIN number) and the matter was reported to the Hawks for investigation.

No arrest has been made at this stage, pending the ongoing investigation, whilst the vehicle was taken for further investigation.
