Working on GPS coordinates given to them by a vehicle tracking company, members of the EMPD Public Order Policing (POP) Unit recovered an orange Ford Ranger GP.<\/p>\n
The recovery took place at about 6pm last Saturday.<\/p>
The vehicle had been stolen in Midrand and the EMPD officers tracked it to Mokgothu Street in Spruitview Gardens.<\/p>\n
It was found abandoned with the engine idling.<\/p>
A false registration plate number NT 60960 was displayed in front of the stolen vehicle with its interior extensively stripped.<\/p>\n
The dashboard was loose and the ignition had been tampered with.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe recovered motor vehicle was driven to the SAPS Van Ryn Deep pound in Benoni for safe-keeping and further investigations,\u201d said Chief Supt Wilfred Kgasago, spokesperson for the EMPD.<\/p>\n
\u201cOn November 8 EMPD POPs members recovered a white Ford Ranger in the same street in Spruitview Gardens which was stolen in Brakpan.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn-depth investigations are underway to catch the culprits.\u201d<\/p>\n
