WESTERN CAPE: In their pursuit to bring offenders of the law before court, SAPS members conducted an intelligence driven operation last night, which led to the recovery of a hijacked vehicle with cargo valued at approximately R1 million.

The members followed the truck until it stopped in Northern Paarl. The members descended on the truck as well as a Renault Sandero that was escorting the truck and search the occupants as well as the cargo loaded on the truck. Two males were arrested and detained on charges of possession of a hijacked motor vehicle as well as the possession of presumed stolen property, comprising electronic equipment and household appliances.
Once charged the suspects are expected to make a court appearance in the Paarl Magistrates' Court on the mentioned charges.
