Wanted Vehicle Tracked Down And Stopped In Walmer

A blue Toyota Corolla had been linked to multiple thefts out of vehicles across 𝐇𝐮𝐦𝐞𝐰𝐨𝐨𝐝 and 𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐞, cases were piling up, and SAPS wanted it found.

‍

Our Rapid Intervention Unit wasn’t about to let it slip through. When word came through that the vehicle had been spotted near 𝐇𝐮𝐦𝐞𝐰𝐨𝐨𝐝, Atlas Security Armed Response Officer Bravo 10 put shift A on alert. Within minutes, a spotter call came in from 𝐖𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐦 𝐌𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐚𝐭, then again heading into 𝟖𝐭𝐡 𝐀𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐮𝐞, 𝐖𝐚𝐥𝐦𝐞𝐫.

‍

Officer Bravo 10 made the turn, caught sight of the Corolla, and stayed on it, and a call was made to bring in our second RIU unit to close the gap. The chase led straight into a scene already crowded with an accident and SAPS on the robots at 𝐁𝐮𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐥𝐬𝐟𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐢𝐧 𝐑𝐨𝐚𝐝. Officer Bravo 10 flashed the vehicle down, backed up by Officer Bravo 56 on scene, and the driver pulled over right behind the waiting SAPS van.

‍

The vehicle was handed to Walmer SAPS and impounded on the spot, taken off the road while investigations into the string of thefts continue.
