Two Vehicle Crime Suspects Arrested in Pinetown With False Plates and Stolen Property
Two theft out of vehicle suspects were arrested following a coordinated operation between Marshall Security’s Special Operations Team (SOT) and Pinetown SAPS Trio Crimes after suspects linked to vehicle-related crimes were intercepted in Pinetown.
On 27 May 2026 at approximately 17h40, members received information regarding suspects in a silver VW Polo who were allegedly attempting to break into a vehicle at a well-known shopping centre in the Waterfall area. The suspects thereafter fled in the direction of Hillcrest.
Marshall Security Special Operations Team members immediately proceeded to the area and conducted patrols in an effort to locate the suspects; however, initial searches yielded negative results.
At approximately 19h00, further information was received indicating that the same suspects were allegedly attempting to steal items from a vehicle at a well-known shopping centre in Pinetown.
Marshall Security Special Operations Team members immediately proceeded to the scene and conducted patrols within the parking area while remaining on the lookout for the suspects.
Shortly thereafter, members observed the identified silver VW Polo occupied by two suspects inside the parking lot. Marshall Security SOT members, together with Pinetown SAPS Trio Crimes members, approached the vehicle. Upon noticing the approaching members, the suspects attempted to reverse and flee the scene. Members acted swiftly, successfully blocking the vehicle and apprehending both suspects.
Pinetown SAPS Trio Crimes members conducted a search of the suspects and the vehicle.
During the search, members discovered car-breaking implements together with a blue laptop bag containing a laptop, wallet, and additional items which the suspects could not account for.
Further inspection of the vehicle revealed that the registration number displayed on the VW Polo consisted of false registration plates. Members subsequently located the vehicle’s original registration plate, concealed underneath the front passenger seat.
Further investigation established that the recovered blue laptop bag had been stolen during a theft out of motor vehicle incident at a well-known shopping centre in the Hillcrest area.
Pinetown SAPS Trio Crimes thereafter took the suspects, vehicle, and all recovered exhibits to Pinetown SAPS for further investigation and processing.
This vehicle theft suspects arrested case highlights the effectiveness of intelligence-driven operations, proactive patrols, and strong working partnerships between Marshall Security Special Operations Team members and Pinetown SAPS Trio Crimes. Through coordinated action and rapid response, suspects linked to vehicle-related crime were intercepted before further incidents could occur, reinforcing the value of vigilance and decisive action in protecting our communities.
