South African police in Limpopo on Sunday intercepted a closed truck transporting a stolen luxury vehicle, LED TVs and several other items to Zimbabwe from the rainbow country of South Africa.

A Zimbabwean and two Ugandan nationals have been taken into police custody and the vehicle impounded as well.

Police spokesperson Lieutenant-Colonel Moatshe Ngoepe said: “We can confirm the incident; we’ll provide more details later.”

It is understood the truck was travelling from Gauteng and was destined to cross the Beit Bridge border in Musina.

It was stopped by police just outside Polokwane, and upon inspection, they found a stolen white Range Rover, several TVs and other goods.

During the 2017 festive season, police also disrupted a criminal operation in which donkey carts were used to transport stolen vehicles and goods across the Limpopo River into Zimbabwe.

The incident comes at a time when South African police and traffic officers in Limpopo are on high alert on the roads, since the start of the 2018 festive season.
