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.
