The Mokopane Regional Court in Limpopo sentenced 46-year-old Vusi Vincent Moloka to seven years direct imprisonment for possession of a stolen vehicle.
Limpopo police spokesperson, Colonel Malesela Ledwaba said on March 20, at around 6pm, the South African Police Service received information about a stolen Toyota Fortuner with Gauteng registration numberplates travelling from Sandton to Limpopo via the N1 North.
A lookout was issued, and with assistance from Spoorvat and Reflex private security companies, Ledwaba said the wanted vehicle was spotted on the N1 freeway.
“The driver attempted to flee but was later arrested in Modimolle with the stolen vehicle’s keys in his possession,” Ledwaba said.
“The case was transferred to the Modimolle Vehicle Crime Investigation Unit (VCIU) and allocated to Detective Sergeant Mpedi Ngoepe, who ensured a watertight case and successfully opposed bail.”
Meanwhile, Limpopo provincial commissioner, Lieutenant General Thembi Hadebe has welcomed the sentence.
Hadebe has saluted the investigating officer for outstanding work.
“This sentence serves as a deterrent to vehicle theft syndicates that their days are numbered,” she said.
