Two people caught transporting a stolen Ford Ranger concealed under bags of snacks along the N1, in Polokwane, were arrested.
Colonel Moatshe Ngoepe says the vehicle boarded onto a trailer looked like a consignment of snacks.
“Police were busy with their routine duties along the N1, south of Polokwane, when they stopped a Toyota Hilux towing a trailer, after receiving information about a stolen vehicle that was being transported. As police searched, unpacking the snacks and removing the foil, a grey Ford Ranger was found loaded on the trailer,” said Ngoepe.
The two suspects, aged 30 and 40, will soon appear in the Polokwane Magistrates’ Court on charges of possession of a stolen vehicle.
