Yesterday evening, at approximately 18h45, the Marshall Security Emergency Dispatch Centre received an alert from Tracker SA regarding a silver Ford Ranger reported stolen in the Port Shepstone area.
Our Special Operations Team, in collaboration with the Durban North SAPS Crime Prevention Unit and Greenwood Park SAPS Trio Crimes Unit, swiftly responded. The teams strategically positioned themselves along the N2 to intercept the stolen vehicle.
Shortly after deploying, the teams spotted a vehicle matching the description of the stolen Ford Ranger traveling northbound on the N2 at high speed, notably without registration plates.
The operation culminated just before the KwaMashu offramp in the Avoca Hills area, where the vehicle was successfully intercepted. Upon verification, it was confirmed that this was indeed the stolen vehicle from Port Shepstone.
The two suspects found in the vehicle were immediately apprehended. They were taken to Greenwood Park SAPS for further investigation and processing, marking another successful collaboration between our team and law enforcement agencies.
