The strategic deployment of Garden Route Flying Squad members on highways, byways and secondary roads leading into the province continues to pay dividends, when a vehicle was recovered in George last night.
On Saturday, 13 January 2024 at about 18:00 the members conducted patrols near the N2 highway when they responded to a distressed call after a vehicle was allegedly hijacked by a man and woman in Thembalethu earlier. The members swiftly responded when they spotted the vehicle, an Opel Corsa, traveling along Knysna Road, George. They brought the vehicle to a halt and the occupants were unable to account for their possession thereof. Police seized the vehicle and arrested the pair.
The suspects aged 24 and 32 remain in police custody. They will appear in the local magistrates’ court once charged.
The circumstances surrounding the hijacking forms part of an ongoing police investigation.
Investigation continues.
