The Phoenix trio crime team followed up on information of the hijacked motor vehicle, which was found to be parked at Isipingo police station.
“On interviewing the complainant in the matter it was established that he had parked the vehicle at Isipingo SAPS and threw the keys at the Alice Street railway line and opened a false case. “The suspect took police officers to Alice Street where the keys were recovered and then to Isipingo police station where the vehicle was recovered.”
The 41-year-old man was arrested and charged. He is due to appear in the Phoenix magistrate’s court on Monday. “We would like to warn the public to refrain from opening false cases. It is punishable by law to open such cases and police have uncovered a large number of such cases,” said Ngcobo.
