CAPE TOWN - Cape Town police have arrested a 33-year-old man linked to the discovery of stolen and hijacked vehicles in Kraaifontein.
On Monday, police received a tip-off about shacks used to store stolen and hijacked cars at the Covid informal settlement of Kraaifontein.
Two bakkies reported stolen in Muizenberg and Kleinvlei were among the cars found at one of the storage facilities.
"The persistence of the police members led them to another shack used as a storage facility, where they found vehicle parts of a Toyota Yaris and a VW Polo. The mentioned vehicles were confiscated, including a number of vehicle registration documentation found inside the dwelling," said the police's Joseph Swaartbooi.
