22 October 2026 | From Arrive Alive
A bakkie stolen from a property in Hilton during the early hours of Wednesday morning was recovered by Mi7's Strategic Threat Response Unit (STRU) less than 30 minutes after the alarm was raised.
The blue Amarok had been stolen from a property just before 2am, with the owner reporting the theft to Mi7 Control Room Operators at around 3:40am.
The vehicle tracking company provided its last known location, which placed the stolen bakkie in the KwaPata area of Edendale. The information was relayed to a Mi7 STRU member, who was dispatched to investigate.
Acting on the tracking information, Mi7 STRU teams proceeded into KwaPata and successfully located the stolen Amarok at approximately 4:10am, about half an hour after Mi7 had received the initial report.
The vehicle had already been stripped of parts of its interior and the suspects had fled.
The owner was immediately informed of the recovery, and the police were contacted to attend to the matter. The vehicle was subsequently impounded for further investigation.
