On Wednesday, 27 March 2019 at approximately 14:30, Florida SAPS Crime Prevention members spotted a car driving recklessly at Mollie Street in Whiteridge, Florida. Members gave chase and pulled the Chevrolet Spark over.
It is alleged that after being stopped, they just voluntarily told the Police that the car that they were driving belongs to their aunt without being initially questioned. A vehicle enquiry was then done and it came out positive, that it was hijacked in January 2019 bearing a case of Jeppe Police Station.
The suspects were using a false registration number plate. The two suspects, aged between 23 and 25 have been detained for possession of hijacked motor vehicle. They will appear at Roodepoort Magistrate Court soon.
