A 24-year-old suspect has been arrested after police intercepted a stolen Toyota Prado VX Series valued at approximately R900 000 during an intelligence-driven anti-smuggling operation in Limpopo.
According to SAPS, members of the Provincial Tracking Team, Provincial Investigation Unit, Limpopo Tactical Response Team and Tshimollo Security acted on information about a luxury vehicle allegedly stolen in Gauteng and being transported towards the Beitbridge border.
Police spotted the vehicle speeding along the R101 South in the Westernburg policing area on Thursday, 4 June 2026. The driver allegedly ignored instructions to stop, leading to a high-speed chase.
The pursuit ended at the intersection of the R101 and R519 roads, where police successfully forced the vehicle to stop and arrested the suspect.
Preliminary investigations revealed that the Toyota Prado had been reported stolen in Benoni on 30 May 2026.
The suspect is expected to appear before the Polokwane Magistrate’s Court on Friday, 5 June 2026, facing charges including possession of a suspected stolen motor vehicle, reckless and negligent driving, and driving without a valid driver’s licence.
Police investigations are continuing.
