Time: 16:32 – 17:42

At approximately 16:32, we received report from one of our local shopping centre's Security Managers that a White Toyota Hilux with four suspects attempted to steal a vehicle. A lookout was posted and members from Quatro, African Key Security, City Protection, Golden Mile Security, TMPD and Kabod started searching the area. The vehicle was spotted by a member and he attempted to stop the vehicle damaging it as it fled out of another shopping center. The suspects fled our area, but members didn't give up. Echo 1 widened the search to the greater Gauteng. The suspect vehicle was spotted on a LPR in Midrand and Members that operate there started searching. The vehicle was spotted and stopped by Tracker SA and Cartrack. Four suspects were detained and they were found with vehicle theft tools and Jamming equipment. Suspects were handed over to SAPS Midrand and SAPS Rapid Response.
