Police in Limpopo have recovered a Toyota Fortuner, valued at almost R1 million, which was reported stolen in Bedfordview, Johannesburg.
Two Malawian nationals are on Thursday scheduled to appear before the Polokwane Magistrate’s Court, after they were arrested following a high-speed chase with police in Limpopo.
Limpopo police spokesperson, Colonel Malesela Ledwaba said the popular sport utility vehicle (SUV) was stolen in Johannesburg on Sunday.
“Information was received about a possible stolen motor vehicle, a Toyota Fortuner 2.8 valued at R900,000, which was from Gauteng and was going to be smuggled to Malawi through the Beitbridge border post,” said Ledwaba.
The law enforcement operational team followed up on the intelligence, and the SUV was spotted on R519 Bergnek Road.
“An attempt to stop the said vehicle failed, and a high-speed chase ensued until the motor vehicle was intercepted near Lunds farms in the Westernburg policing area,” said Ledwaba.
“Preliminary investigation revealed that the motor vehicle was reported stolen at Bedfordview, Gauteng province, on Sunday, March 24.”
Ledwaba said two Malawian nationals, men in their 30s, were arrested and charged for possession of a presumed stolen motor vehicle and contravention of South Africa’s Immigration Act.
Meanwhile, Limpopo police commissioner, Lieutenant General Thembi Hadebe has commended the anti-smuggling team in the gateway province for their commitment and diligence through the ongoing intensive anti-smuggling operation which has resulted in the recovery of numerous stolen cars.
