Hijacked vehicle recovered and suspect arrested in Newton Park

A collaborative effort between Mount Road Flying Squad and Port Elizabeth 10111 call centre, led to the arrest of 2 suspects aged between 23 and 28 and recovery of a vehicle that was hijacked in Kwanabuhle in Uitenhage on 12 March 2015.

This morning, at about 07:30 Mount Road Sector Manager received information about a suspicious vehicle driving around Newton Park. This information was given to a Mount Road SAPS Flying squad vehicle that was on patrol, which then followed up.

The 2 Flying squad members were still patrolling when they noticed a silver Polo at C/O 4th Avenue and Cape Road, Newton Park fitting the description of the vehicle that was reported as ‘suspicious’ in Newton Park with 2 occupants inside. The members verified the registration on radio control and discovered that the number plates were false. They instructed the vehicle to pull over in order to further investigate. When they verified the registration number on the license disk, the vehicle was positively linked to a vehicle that was reported as hijacked from KwaNobuhle, Uitenhage.

The 2 suspects were arrested and charged for possession of suspected hijacked vehicle and theft. They will appear in the Port Elizabeth Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday, 7 April 2015. The confiscated vehicle will be returned to its lawful owner.

Mount Road Cluster Commander, Major General Daniel Rabie commended the 2 officers for the arrest. “Your prompt response and team work have yielded the desired results, continue to work hard so that our people can have a peaceful and crime free Easter. We have pledged to clamp down on crime, protect the public including their property and this success is an indication that our members have heeded to the call,” said Major General Dawie Rabie.

Two suspects arrested after stolen car is recovered and car theft implements seized

Members of the SAPS Port Shepstone 10111 Highway Patrol sourced information on a stolen motor vehicle being stripped in Nkombo Ward, Malangeni and on 28 January 2015, they raided the premises. They allegedly found the suspects busy stripping a Toyota Avanza that had been stolen in Berea on 24 January 2015. Ndodo Clifford Dlamini (41) and Bhekumuzi Protas Dube (24) were arrested and detained until their first appearance in the Durban Magistrates’ Court on 30 January 2015. They were remanded back into police custody until their next appearance on 4 February 2015. They are facing charges of theft of motor vehicle and being in possession of car-breaking implements.

Police impounded the Toyota Avanza and seized a large quantity of tools, ignition switches, an angle grinder, sanding machine, compressor and various items that are used to panel-beat and spray paint a vehicle. Among the seized items were a die stamp punch set that is used to print a false engine number after the original has been filed off. The owner of the Avanza had parked her vehicle in St Thomas Road and when she returned later, she discovered that the vehicle had been stolen. A case of theft was reported to the Berea police station. The case was subsequently transferred to Detective Warrant Officer Ian Mbhele of the Port Shepstone Vehicle Identification Section (VIS) for investigation.

Lieutenant General Mmamonnye Ngobeni, the KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Commissioner commended the members of the Port Shepstone 10111 Highway Patrol for their sterling work. “The Highway Patrol has made a significant impact on crime within a short space of time. The members have made a number of successful arrests and recoveries of stolen property and drugs since their unit was introduced late last year. I urge them to continue in this vein, thereby keeping our communities safe,” she said.

Three suspects arrested for motor vehicle application fraud amounting to R50 million

The Electronic Crime Unit of the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (DPCI), the Hawks, in conjunction with the banking industry, arrested 3 suspects for motor vehicle application fraud amounting to R50 million.

The suspects, 33-year-old Adele Coetzee, her husband, 37-year-old Marius Coetzee, and his mother, 60-year-old Kitty Coetzee, were arrested in Brits in the North West during an operation held over the weekend of 5 to 7 September 2014.  The operation originated in the Western Cape.

The suspects were involved in a vehicle-purchase scheme by applying for hire-purchase finance from banking institutions using fraudulent documents. 6ty fraudulent financing transactions were made to the banks between 2012 and 2014, which resulted in a loss of more than R50 million for the banking industry.

During the operation, the investigating team recovered 10 vehicles at a farm in the Brits vicinity where the Coetzees fled to from the Western Cape. The Coetzees appeared in the Brits Regional Court on Monday, 8 September 2014, on more than 70 counts of fraud and the matter was postponed to Monday, 15 September 2014, when the suspects will appear in the Malmesbury Regional Court in the jurisdiction area where the crimes were committed. The suspects are still in custody.

Another 50 vehicles, which were purchased fraudulently, are still being sought. Any person with information that may lead to the recovery of these vehicles or who wants to surrender the vehicle voluntarily may contact Colonel Mark Purchase of the Commercial Crime Unit of the DPCI in Cape Town at 082 850 9730. Lieutenant General Anwar Dramat, the National Head of the Hawks, said that this was an innovative method of stealing vehicles.

The Chief Executive of the South African Banking Risk Information Centre (SABRIC), Kalyani Pillay, said: “These arrests will assist in fighting application fraud and will certainly send out a strong message to criminals that such fraudulent activity will not be tolerated.”
