Durban — A Mercedes-Benz was recovered in KwaMashu after it was hijacked by two armed suspects in Morningside.
The suspects hijacked a man’s silver Mercedes-Benz in Peace Avenue while he was dropping off a friend after going to the gym.
Marshall Security director Tyron Powell said that at approximately 8.30pm last Tuesday, the Marshall Security emergency dispatch centre received a call for assistance from a member of the public who had just been hijacked.
Powell said that details of the hijacked vehicle were immediately circulated to all their armed response officers on patrol, while armed response officers were dispatched to the scene to assist the victim.
It was established that the car was fitted with Bidvest Tracking and they were notified accordingly. A short while later the Marshall Security special operations team was activated to assist Bidvest Tracking with locating the hijacked vehicle.
“Our members immediately responded to the last known location of the hijacked vehicle and within minutes it was found abandoned on Mhlonhlo Drive in Kwamashu J Section, where it was recovered by members of our Special Ops Team, Bidvest Tracking Ground Team and Ntuzuma SAPS,” Powell said.
He said police were investigating the crime.
“Well done to our team on yet another successful and quick vehicle recovery,” Powell added.
Police had not responded to questions by the time of publication.
