A massive breakthrough was made at Durban Harbour where a container was found full of stripped car parts intended to be exported out of South Africa to Mauritius. The breakthrough was made by the Border Policing’s Trans International Crime Investigation Unit as part of Festive Season operations.
The container was fronted as second hand parts for export but on a full unpack of the container, three of the engines and car panels for Audi and Ford Rangers were found to have been linked to two vehicles hijacked.
The container had a further variety of luxury car panels and engines of Mercedes, Audi, BMWs, Ford Rangers and Hyundai Tucsons which are currently licensed, insured and bank financed.
The estimated value of these cars is R10 million and are still to be investigated as to why they were stripped and not reported stolen while under bank finance.
Investigation continues.
