Two arrested for hijacking of Pirates star Vincent Pule
Two men have been arrested in connection with the hijacking of Orlando Pirates footballer Vincent Pule in July.
The two suspects allegedly stole Pule's BMW and other items during the hijacking in the south of Johannesburg.
Johannesburg metro police spokesperson Xolani Fihla says the two men were arrested at a house in Riverlea on Friday.
“The sought vehicle, one live AK-47 round, one tracking device and four sets of registration plates were recovered. Upon recovery, the vehicle's registration plates and licence disc were changed and it was fitted with false registration plates and licence disc.
“Officers verified the vehicle using its Vin and engine number and it was positively identified as the same vehicle which was hijacked from Vincent Pule as per the Moffatview SAPS case.”
The suspects are linked to several hijackings in the city and will appear in court soon.
