On Friday evening, at approximately 19:15, Marshall Security’s Special Operations Team (SOT) received intelligence about a suspicious silver Toyota Cross circulating in the Gateway precinct, Umhlanga.
SOT members, together with Durban North SAPS and Excellerate Security members, deployed to the area to locate the vehicle. At 21:15, officers spotted the silver Toyota Cross on Twilight Drive and safely stopped it on Twilight Road.
A check of the registration plates showed they were registered to a SAPS provincial vehicle, yet the driver could not provide any police credentials. Durban North SAPS officers conducted a VIN scan that confirmed the car is positively listed in a Sydenham theft-of-motor-vehicle case opened on 04 May 2025—identifying it as a stolen Toyota Cross.
Both the suspect and the stolen Toyota Cross were transported to Durban North Police Station for further questioning and processing.
Friday’s swift, intelligence-led response highlights the effective collaboration between Marshall Security, Durban North SAPS, and Excellerate Security in removing stolen vehicles—and those responsible—from our roads to keep the community safer.
