A 31 year old South African male appeared before the Amsterdam Magistrate’s Court on Monday, for possession of a suspected stolen vehicle.
The suspect was arrested by the joint Task Team members of Nerston and Mahamba boarder policing at Nerston Port of Entry on Saturday last weekend.
It was reported that when the task team members were doing vehicle verification on the white Toyota Corolla, it transpired that the vehicle identification number (VIN) on the license disk does not correspond with the VIN on the body of the vehicle.
Further investigation was conducted, and the outcome indicated that the vehicle was reported stolen in Komani (Queenstown) in the Eastern Cape Province in December 2010.
The driver of the vehicle was arrested, hence his court appearance on Monday. Police cannot rule out possibilities of adding other charge of theft of motor vehicle pending investigation.
The Provincial Commissioner of the SAPS in Mpumalanga, Lieutenant General Semakaleng Daphney Manamela, has applauded members for the exceptional recovery after more than a decade the vehicle was reported stolen.
