The suspect managed to elude the police officers and a manhunt was subsequently launched to apprehend him.
A manhunt is on for the driver of a one tonne truck after police officials at the Lebombo Border Post searched it and discovered a stolen bakkie loaded on it yesterday.
A viral video shared widely on social media platforms showed police officials uncovering a White Ford Ranger which had been stolen from a garage in Sandton, Johannesburg on November 3.
The police spokesperson, Col Donald Mdhluli said that the suspect intended to cross the border into Mozambique with the stolen vehicle.
The driver gave police the slip after the discovery was made.
“The border police were busy with their duties when they noticed a suspicious white one tonner truck with Mozambican registration number plates loaded with traditional brooms.
“They went to look for the driver at the SARS offices but they could not find him and they began searching the truck.
“While removing the traditional brooms, they discovered a white Ford Ranger with false registration plates,” said Mdhluli.
The suspect managed to elude the police officers and a manhunt was subsequently launched to apprehend him.
Mdhluli urged anyone with information that may help the police with the investigation to call 013-793-7382 / 013- 793-7321 or the Crime Stop number on 08600 10111.
