Yesterday at afternoon the Marshall Security Emergency Dispatch Centre received critical information related to a housebreaking and vehicle theft incident which occurred in the early hours of Saturday morning, in Umdloti area, where intruders broke into a residence, secured the keys, and subsequently stole a white Ford Ranger.
Our breakthrough occurred upon receiving information that the stolen Ford Ranger had been spotted abandoned in the Kwamakhutha area.
Promptly acting on this information, our team proceeded to the last known location. Once there, they observed the vehicle from a distance, strategically waiting for the culprits to return. The wait proved fruitful when two individuals arrived in a white Toyota Hilux at approximately 18h15, with one attempting to tow away the Ford Ranger.
Members of Kwamakutha Saps immediately sprang into action, intercepting both vehicles and apprehending the two suspects involved assisted by our team members along with another security company.
The captured individuals, alongside the vehicles, were taken to Kwamakhutha SAPS for further inquiry and due process.
This incident highlights the pivotal role of alertness and cooperative efforts in combating criminal activities within our communities.
