A crime prevention operation in Naledi, Soweto, led to the arrest of two men after officers found a hijacked vehicle being stripped and suspected human organs at the property
Two men have been arrested after Johannesburg Metropolitan Police Department (JMPD) Tactical Response Unit officers discovered a hijacked National Department of Health vehicle and two buckets containing suspected human organs at a residence in Naledi, Soweto.
The arrests followed a tip-off received by officers while they were conducting crime prevention duties on Thursday evening, regarding a vehicle allegedly being stripped at a property on Nape Street.
JMPD spokesperson Superintendent Xolani Fihla said officers responded to the address and found the property gate open before entering the yard.
Fihla said officers discovered the front door of the house partially open and, after receiving no response to their knocks, entered the premises where they encountered one male suspect.
