Another Toyota Fortuner stolen in Gauteng intercepted in Limpopo en route to Zimbabwe

Members of the SA Police Service’s Anti-Smuggling Task Team in Limpopo have made another “remarkable success” by arresting a 44-year-old man for possession of a suspected stolen vehicle.

The white Toyota Fortuner was recovered on Monday, according to Limpopo provincial police spokesperson, Colonel Malesela Ledwaba.

“Police received information about a white Toyota Fortuner that was travelling from Gauteng province to Musina in the Vhembe District.

“The police reacted swiftly and commenced with the investigations to locate the motor vehicle that was spotted driving along the N1 north public road next to ZZ2 farm outside Polokwane,” said Ledwaba.

The popular sport utility vehicle, with one occupant, was stopped and an investigation was conducted about its origins.

Police discovered that the motor vehicle was reported stolen last month, on July 31, at Wierdabrug in Tshwane, Gauteng province.

“A 44-year-old male suspect was immediately placed under arrest for possession of a stolen motor vehicle,” said Ledwaba.

“Preliminary investigations revealed that the motor vehicle was intended to be smuggled into Zimbabwe via Beitbridge border post.”

The 44-year-old driver of the Toyota Fortuner is scheduled to appear before the Polokwane Magistrate’s Court soon, facing charges of possession of stolen motor vehicle.
