A 33-year-old man will appear in court soon on charges related to the possession of stolen vehicles and car parts after being arrested in a police swoop at Kraaifontein in Cape Town.
Police made the bust during an intelligence-driven operation in the Covid informal settlement on Monday.
“The members gathered information about a possible storage facility for stolen and hijacked motor vehicles. The information was acted on and led the team to a location in the Covid informal settlement where they inspected vehicles found at the premises,” said police spokesperson W/O Joseph Swartbooi.
“They confiscated a Toyota Hilux LDV reported stolen in Muizenberg and a Nissan double cab reported stolen in Kleinvlei. The persistence of the police members led them to another shack, used as a storage facility, where they found vehicle parts for a Toyota Yaris and a VW Polo.”
The vehicles were confiscated together with vehicle registration documents.
The suspect will appear in the Blue Downs magistrate’s court once charged.
