At approximately 07h02 this morning, the Marshall Security Emergency Dispatch Centre received a message on a WhatsApp Crime Alert group from a Marshall Security client regarding a motor vehicle theft in the La Lucia area.
Multiple Armed Response Officers responded to the call. The premises, a holiday home with guests staying on the property, had a Hyundai i10 parked on-site. This morning, the guests discovered the vehicle had been stolen, after leaving the keys in the ignition. The gate was found open without any signs of forced entry. The vehicle was equipped with Cartrack, and our Special Operations Team was activated to assist in tracking it. The team proceeded to the vehicle’s last known location at King Dinuzulu Road, Berea, where it was found abandoned. SAPS and the rental company were also in attendance.
In another incident at approximately 14h53 yesterday, Marshall Security’s Special Operations Team was activated by Tracker regarding a stolen Toyota Etios which had been stolen from the Durban Central area. Members from our Special Operations Team were dispatched. With assistance from Tracker SA and KwaMashu SAPS, the vehicle was recovered and found abandoned in the KwaMashu area. The vehicle was then handed over to KwaMashu SAPS for further processing.
These incidents highlight the unwavering commitment of Marshall Security, Cartrack, Tracker, and SAPS to community safety. We commend our officers and the collaborative partners for their vigilance and swift response, ensuring that stolen vehicles are promptly recovered and returned to their rightful owners.
