The video in which the South African Police Service successfully recovered a stolen Nissan 1400 vehicle happened in Gauteng - and it’s a scene we would usually see in a Hollywood movie.

In the nail-biting video along the R80 highway, the wild chase goes on for some time until the officer on the motorbike shoots at the car, taking aim at the tyres. 

The driver eventually loses control and surrenders to the police.
