Three men in a VW Citi Golf were busted.
THREE suspected petrol thieves were busted in the early hours of Thursday after they allegedly filled their car's tank and sped off.
According to SJC Security Services, officers responded to a panic alarm at the Engen La Rochelle garage in Bellville, where they were told that three suspects in a blue in a VW Citi Golf had driven off after filling their tank and leaving without paying.
SJC said on its Facebook account: “At approximately 2:21am [on Thursday morning], SJC Security Services responded to a panic alarm activation at Engen La Rochelle. Upon arrival, our SJC Armed Response Officers were informed that three suspects had filled their vehicle with fuel before fleeing the forecourt without making payment.”
The alert officers then launched a coordinated search of the surrounding area for the golf, with a Northern Cape registration.
