While patrolling the area, members of our Special Operations team along with Greenwoodpark SAPS Trio Crimes spotted the tow truck with the stolen vehicle on Glen Anil Street. Acting swiftly, they managed to stop the tow truck and apprehend the driver. Upon questioning the tow truck driver, it was revealed that a male had hired him to tow the vehicle to a local panel beaters premises in Glen Anil from Chatsworth.
Following the lead provided by the tow truck driver, teams pursued the suspect and successfully apprehended him in Chatsworth. During the interview, the suspect confessed to stealing the vehicle on Saturday from a market in Chatsworth.
