The alertness of the Provincial Extortion Task Team’s K9 unit led to the recovery of a hijacked delivery truck on Saturday, January 1.
According to Western Cape police spokesperson FC van Wyk, about 17:35m on Friday, December 31 officers followed up information received on the whereabouts of a hijacked motor vehicle in the Philippi East area.
“The information led them to the Marikana Informal Settlement in Philippi East. Due to challenging road conditions, the members pursued the information on foot and recovered the truck abandoned in between the shacks, still intact with just the battery missing,” Van Wyk said.
Van Wyk indicated further that the white KIA 2.7D Truck will be taken to the Bellville Vehicle Safeguarding Unit where it will be processed. No arrests have been made yet as the investigation continues.
