Zimbabwean national arrested with suspected stolen Hilux at Beitbridge
A 40-year-old Zimbabwean national is expected in court after police seized a suspected stolen Toyota Hilux and a fraudulent document at the Beitbridge Port of Entry in Limpopo.
A 40-year-old Zimbabwean man is set to face court in Musina after being arrested at the Beitbridge Port of Entry in South Africa for allegedly being in possession of a stolen Toyota Hilux and a fraudulent document. The arrest took place on Sunday, August 23, around 2pm, when South African Police Service (SAPS) officers intercepted a white Hilux during routine vehicle checks at the departure checkpoint.
Further scrutiny of the vehicle and the accompanying paperwork led police to suspect the vehicle's legitimacy and the authenticity of the document presented. The vehicle, valued at roughly R36,000, has been impounded at the Musina police vehicle pound for further examination. Charges of possession of a fraudulent document and possession of a suspected stolen motor vehicle have been filed against the suspect, who is scheduled to appear in the Musina Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday.
