Media Statement CAPE TOWN – The rapid response by the Cape Town SAPS K9 Unit resulted in the recovery of approximately R1 million worth of stolen Nestle products and the apprehension of a 32-year-old male suspect. On Tuesday 11 February 2025, a truck loaded with Nestle products was hijacked just before 06:00 in Duinefontein Road, Manenberg. The security company responsible for tracking the truck alerted SAPS K9 Unit after the truck was hijacked. The members were informed by the security tracking company that the truck was traced to an address in Mymoena, Crescent in Athlone. The members swiftly operationalised the information. The members spotted a vehicle that was returning to the mentioned address. A high speed chase ensued and the driver of the vehicle was arrested as the video CCTV footage positively linked the suspect’s vehicle offloading the stolen goods. The truck was later recovered abandoned in Strandfontein policing precinct. Western Cape SAPS management commended the K9 Unit members for their dedication and swift response in following up on the information they received and making the arrest shortly after the hijacking.
