A 22-year-old woman is due to appear in the Khayelitsha Magistrate’s Court following her arrest yesterday after she was found to be in possession of stolen goods valued at over R250,000

The South African Police Service (SAPS) spokesperson FC van Wyk says members of the Makhaza Anti-Hijacking Team were alerted to a delivery vehicle that was hijacked in the Makhaza area.

Van Wyk said swift action by the team led to the vehicle being traced and recovered in Nxaruni Street, J-Section, Khayelitsha, with the driver and passenger found safe.

“The victims informed them that the suspects loaded all the parcels over into another vehicle and left the location.”

Further investigation led the police to a house on Mcewule Street, J-Section, where the stolen goods were recovered. The 22-year-old was subsequently arrested after being found in possession of the property.
