The motorist informed the officers that he had been hijacked the previous day along Provincial Road & Golden Highway in Lenasia. He further advised that he had spotted his hijacked vehicle entering the Magson Manor residential area.

The officers immediately followed up on the information provided, which led them to a house where the vehicle was found. A woman was found at the property & upon searching the premises, officers recovered the stolen motor vehicle. The victim was brought to the scene & positively identified the vehicle as his. The vehicle was subsequently seized & booked in at the Lenasia SAPS pound.
