The discovery comes after an intelligence-driven operation by the Limpopo Tracking Team in partnership with Tracker Connect, Tshimollo Security and Investigation.

Upon arrival, the team found the high-end Porsche Cayenne already dismantled in the backyard of the workshop. Preliminary investigations confirmed the vehicle had been stolen in May 2025 in Zebediela.

Further search of the premises led to the recovery of a white Toyota Tazz, which had been reported stolen in October 2024 in Seshego.

A case of possession of suspected stolen motor vehicles has been opened at Westenburg SAPS. The suspects are expected to appear before the Polokwane Magistrate’s Court on Friday, 11 July 2025.

Provincial Commissioner of Police in Limpopo, Lieutenant General Thembi Hadebe, welcomed the arrest. She praised the integrated efforts that led to the recovery of the stolen vehicles.

“The dismantling of high-end stolen vehicles like this luxury Porsche indicates a well-organised criminal operation,” said Lieutenant Hadebe.
