They confiscated a Toyota Hilux LDV which was reported stolen in Muizenberg as well as a Nissan double cab reported stolen in Kleinvlei. The persistence of the police members led them to another shack, used as a storage facility, where they found vehicle parts of a Toyota Yaris and a VW Polo. The mentioned vehicles were confiscated including a number of vehicle registration documentation found inside the dwelling. The members subsequently arrested a 33-year-old man for the possession of presumed stolen property.
