SAPS intercepts stolen Jaguar XF from being smuggled into Mozambique
Mpumalanga Brigadier Selvy Mohlala said the Jaguar XF was found at Komatipoort on Thursday morning.
“The said car reportedly had Mozambican registration number plates and when the astute members verified its authenticity, they realised that it was reported stolen in January this year at Meyerton, in Gauteng.”
The two occupants of the vehicle, aged 34 and 42, were arrested and charged with possession of suspected stolen property.
“The preliminary investigation has since revealed that the two suspects are Mozambican citizens with passports and when they were caught by the police on the N4 Road, they were heading towards the direction of Mozambique,” Mohlala said.
The two are scheduled to make their first court appearance before the Komatipoort Magistrate’s Court on Friday.
