Location: Pinetown & Kloof Incident: Incident: Multiple Fraud Charges
SAPS Pinetown circulated the description of a wanted suspect and his vehicle. The suspect was linked to three fraud cases in Pinetown and multiple fraud charges in Port Elizabeth.
Our Blue Security CCPU team spotted the suspect’s vehicle on Pioneer Road, Kloof, and began following him, notifying SAPS. The suspect noticed he was being followed and sped off down the M13, weaving dangerously through morning traffic. For safety reasons, our CCPU officer backed off near Stapleton as the suspect continued his reckless escape.
Later that morning, at around 10:00, the suspect was spotted again entering Pinetown. Our CCPU tracked the vehicle to Jerome Drive in Kloof. With assistance from SAPS Pinetown and other security partners, the property was secured, and the suspect was found hiding in the backyard, seemingly preparing to flee.
The suspect, along with his vehicle, was handed over to SAPS Pinetown for further investigation and processing.
Thank you to SAPS Pinetown and all security partners for their teamwork and swift action!
