Cellphone Tracks Down Clueless Criminals!

THE dumb thugs allegedly hijacked a vehicle at Makhaza in Cape Town.

They also stole the victim’s cellphone.

Little did they know the cellphone had a tracker.

Police spokesman Captain Frederick Van Wyk said the vigilance of members attached to Makhaza Hijacking received the information of the carjacked case opened at Makhaza copshop on Thursday, 6 February.

They jumped into action. Together with the complainant, who was busy tracking his cellphone, which was taken during the hijacking, they tracked the phone to the corners of Dibana Road and Ncedo Street, where they stopped a suspicious-looking Toyota Corolla with four occupants.

“The complainant recognised two of them as suspects in the initial hijacking.

“The members searched the vehicle and its occupants, during which they found power tools in the boot, which the complainant identified as his property, which was inside his vehicle during the hijacking,” said Van Wyk.

He said cops also found the complainant’s cellphone in the possession of one of the suspects.

“Further investigation led the members to premises in Ntlanzi Street in Kuyasa, where the hijacked vehicle was recovered.

“The four suspects, aged between 19 and 23, were arrested and detained at Harare SAPS on charges of hijacking and possession of stolen property,” said Van Wyk.

He said the four suspects will appear in the Khayelitsha Magistrates Court on Monday, 10 February.
