OPERATIONAL REPORT

At approximately 17:11 on 06 August 2026, an urgent request for assistance was received from members of the South African Police Service (SAPS) who had encountered an active crime scene in Nelmapius Extension 2.

SAPS members had come across a Toyota Hilux that had been reported hijacked. The vehicle was being stripped by suspects who were attempting to gain access to and remove the vehicle's tracking device.

Upon noticing the marked SAPS vehicle, two suspects fled from the vehicle on foot and entered the surrounding informal settlement.

The SAPS members initially attempted to pursue the suspects on foot. Due to the circumstances and the need to secure the recovered vehicle and crime scene, the officers subsequently returned to the vehicle and secured the scene while awaiting additional assistance.

CSI SPECIAL OPERATIONS RESPONSE

Three members of the CSI Special Operations Unit were immediately deployed to assist the SAPS members. The CSI team arrived at the scene within minutes and was shortly thereafter supported by members of Proshield Security.

The responding teams assisted with securing the area and conducting a further inspection of the recovered vehicle.

During the inspection, two electronic jamming devices were discovered inside the vehicle. The devices were connected to an external power supply.

Several tools were also located inside the vehicle, believed to have been used by the suspects to strip the vehicle's interior in an attempt to locate and remove the tracking device.

VEHICLE CONFIRMATION

Further investigation confirmed that the Toyota Hilux had been hijacked in the Silverton area.

At the time the vehicle was recovered, the complainant was reportedly in the process of opening a case at Silverton Police Station.

The recovery of the vehicle therefore occurred while the related criminal investigation was still being initiated.
