Car recovered within hours of being stolen, suspects nabbed
Two men, aged 21 and 26, were arrested in Village Street, Farrarmere, after they were found driving a car which was reported stolen, in Reiger Park, on April 24.
According to EMPD spokesperson Chief Supt Wilfred Kgasago, the arrest of the suspects and the recovery of the VW Polo Hatchback, was a joint effort between members from the Ekurhuleni Metro Police Equestrian Unit, SAPS members and officers from a vehicle tracking company.
“Drug paraphernalia, commonly used for the substance crystal meth, was found on the men,” said Kgasago.
“A charge of possession of a stolen vehicle was registered at Benoni police station and the two are expected to appear in the Benoni Magistrate’s Court soon.
“Another charge of theft of a motor vehicle awaits the pair at Reiger Park police station,” added Kgasago.
