A well-known wanted suspect with a lengthy criminal record has been arrested after Titanium Crime Prevention Unit officers spotted him sitting outside a local shop during a routine patrol in Kraaifontein.

The man, no stranger to authorities, faces two serious cases involving alleged vehicle hijackings in Bellville and Delft, which have since been reopened against him.

He was also arrested just last week on charges of malicious damage to property and assault. He was apprehended on the spot and booked in at Bellville police station, where he will face the relevant legal processes.

“Criminals may believe they can outrun justice, but we remain committed to working alongside the police to ensure repeat offenders are held accountable,” said a Titanium spokesperson.

This is not the first time Titanium teams have arrested the suspect, having previously apprehended him on multiple occasions for housebreaking and theft.
