In order to prevent and combat crime that may threaten the safety and security of the community, vigilant Flying Squad members on patrol arrested four suspects for possession of hijacked vehicle.
On 1 January 2018 at about 22:40, members of the Flying Squad were tracking a silver Polo Classic motor vehicle that was fitted with a tracking device. The vehicle had been hijacked in Parow and was found in a back yard in Bluegum Road, Bonteheuwel.
After questioning the owner of the house on the premises, he gave information that led police to another house in Bluegum Road. Here, two suspects were arrested and the hijacked vehicle’s key was found in their possession.
Further investigation led to the arrest of two more suspects from Elsies River. The vehicle was impounded at Stikland. A total of four suspects, aged between 17 and 35, were arrested and are facing charges related to the possession of the hijacked vehicle.
A zero tolerance approach towards criminals will be maintained at all times.
