CAPE TOWN –<\/strong> Metro <\/a>Police\u2019s Anti-Hijack Unit recovered two stolen vehicles on the same day in a swift operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers were alerted shortly after 06:00 to be on the lookout for a stolen Toyota Fortuner in the Muizenberg area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About two hours later, a second vehicle, an orange Toyota Etios Cross, was also reported stolen in the same vicinity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recovery <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Officers immediately focused their search on known hotspots where stolen vehicles are often abandoned or stripped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While patrolling the Lower Crossroads area, officers successfully located both vehicles, which had been abandoned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recovered cars were transported to the Bellville South impound facility for further processing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier this month, on Sunday 5 April, officers recovered two hijacked vehicles that had been stripped, along with two containers of car parts in Marikana Informal Settlement in Philippi East.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Tuesday 7 April, they also recovered a City bakkie in Mandela Park shortly after it had been hijacked in Ilitha Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
