Media Statement GAUTENG – On Monday, 14 October 2024, Benoni Flying Squad members arrested two suspects and recovered two motor vehicles. At around 12:00, Sergeant Jaco Powell and Warrant Officer Jabulani Khumalo received a lookout via a Community Poling group in Edenvale for a white Ford Bantam that had been hijacked. As they were proceeding to the area, it was reported that the vehicle with one suspect was cornered by security and CPF members on Linksfield Road, after being involved in an accident. Upon arrival the 45-year-old suspect was immediately arrested and detained at Edenvale SAPS. The same members were contacted at around 18:00 by a Benoni security company to assist on Great North Road, opposite Engen with a motorcycle that was flagged as wanted. Upon their arrival, investigation revealed that the motorcycle was displaying a false registration number and license disc. The 26-year-old driver was immediately arrested. In further policing an abandoned hijacked white Hyundai H100 was recovered at Giraffe Street, Villalisa, Boksburg reported on a Germiston case.
