22 June 2026
A joint intelligence-led operation involving Highway Patrol, JMPD , Randburg SAPS, 24/7 Security, Night Guard, and Beagle Watch resulted in the arrest of one suspect linked to vehicle-related crimes in Gauteng.
Members identified a suspicious vehicle travelling along Main Road and Bryanston Drive. When officers attempted to stop the vehicle, the driver failed to comply, resulting in a high-speed chase that ended at Winnie Mandela Shopping Centre. The suspects abandoned the vehicle and fled on foot into the shopping centre.
Following a coordinated search, one suspect was successfully arrested, while efforts to trace the remaining suspects continue.
A search of the vehicle resulted in the recovery of:
2 × Signal Jamming Devices
2 × False Registration Plates
6 × Pairs of Gloves
Car-Breaking Implements
1 × Toyota Prado Licence Disc
Further investigation revealed that the recovered Toyota Prado licence disc tested positive in connection with Sandton CAS ###/06/2026, while the vehicle's VIN number tested positive as a stolen motor vehicle under Norwood CAS ###/05/2026.
The suspect was arrested and detained at Randburg SAPS on charges relating to possession of a suspected stolen motor vehicle, possession of signal-jamming devices, possession of car-breaking implements, and related offences.
Investigations are ongoing to trace and arrest the outstanding suspects

@CoE_Call_Centre@City_Ekurhuleni would it be too much trouble to ask for these residents power to be put on considering this is way over your service delivery standards. Apparently the excuse yesterday was you don't have a cherry picker available so the technicians can go up to flip the switch on the pole?
