Dispatcher Files

Recently a SNIPR camera in the Johannesburg area picked up a stolen silver Chevy Spark that SAPS had loaded on the system at the Witbank Police station . An officer was dispatched to the general area where the vehicle was last seen but could unfortunately not find the vehicle. A few minutes later another unit called in over the radio confirming that he had found the vehicle in Moreletapark. 

Other units responded as back-up and blocked the vehicle in, which was stationary with no occupants. They entered the premises where the car was standing and found the driver,  a foreign national without a valid driver’s licence. He was identified, questioned and claimed that the vehicle belonged to a friend of his. SAPS took the driver and the recovered vehicle to the Garsfontein Police station for further investigation.

On follow-up, SAPS went through the house of the second suspect and could not find any documents of ownership of the vehicle.  He also alleged that he got the vehicle from a friend. Further investigation revealed that there was a large quantity of cash and dagga hidden among children’s clothing. This suspect was therefore also arrested.

SUMMARY: One suspect (driver) arrested for being in possession of a stolen vehicle; second suspect (alleged owner/friend of the first suspect) arrested for being in possession of a stolen vehicle and possession of a controlled substance. Both suspects were booked in at the Garsfontein police station. 

Well done to SAPS
