Three males aged between the ages of 37 and 42 will appear in the Somerset West Magistrate court on charges relating to possession of hijacked vehicles and stolen property.
On 2 June 2021 members attached to Bellville Vehicle Crime Investigation Unit were contacted by Macassar police to assist at a chop shop where they already arrested a 37-year-old man on a truck hijacking case.
The members took over the investigation, which led them to arrest two more suspects age 40 and 42 on Thursday, 3 June 2021, at a chop shop in Buttercup Street, Macassar.
Members found six vehicles worth more than R1 080 000-00, reported stolen or hijacked, stored on the premises.
Western Cape acting provincial commissioner, Major General Patekile lauded the members for their diligence.
