On 4 November 2024, at approximately 10:00, Marshall Security’s Special Operations Team received crucial information from Matrix Tracking about a Hyundai Venue that had been reported stolen earlier that morning during a housebreaking in the Chatsworth area.
Matrix Tracking informed our Special Operations Team, Phoenix SAPS Trio Crimes, and KZN RTI that the stolen vehicle was spotted on the N2 Northbound, passing Umgeni Road. Teams immediately positioned themselves along the route, ready to intercept the vehicle.
Within minutes, officers identified the Hyundai Venue, now bearing false registration plates, on the N2 near Queen Nandi Drive. Despite attempts to stop the vehicle, the suspect sped away, initiating a high-speed chase along the N2 towards Gateway. The driver’s reckless behavior, swerving between lanes and forcing vehicles off the road, posed a serious danger to all road users.
The pursuit concluded on the Umdloti off-ramp when the suspect lost control and collided with the barriers. Officers immediately apprehended the suspect, who was alone in the vehicle, and handed him over to Verulam SAPS for processing and further investigation.
Marshall Security commends the quick response and coordination between Matrix Tracking, Phoenix SAPS Trio Crimes, and KZN RTI, which led to the successful recovery of the stolen vehicle and ensured the suspect’s arrest.
