“The suspects fled the scene when they realised they had been spotted and that backup could be on its way,” he said.
Holtzhausen said a suspect was found with the bakkie carrying the suspected stolen property.
“Honeydew Police attended to the scene and took the suspect and his bakkie to the station,” he concluded.
