Blue Security Area Manager Recovers Vehicle Stolen in Morningside

An alert Blue Security area manager successfully located a stolen vehicle, less than an hour after suspects fled Morningside with it, on Tuesday last week.
“All Blue Security units were on the alert and intensified patrols after information regarding the stolen vehicle was circulated by the tracking company,” said Blue Security community and media liaison officer, Andreas Mathios.
“Various security service providers had been notified of the missing vehicle and the intense search included a helicopter flying over the area,” Mathios said.
“Even though the vehicle’s signage had been removed by the suspects to prevent it being identified whilst in transit, Blue Security’s area manager was still successful in locating the bakkie about five kilometres from where it had been stolen. As soon as he spotted the abandoned vehicle in Sydenham, the area manager contacted the tracking company supervisor and informed him of the recovery,” he said.
“The tracking company’s helicopter also flew over the crime scene and, using GPS triangulation technology, affirmed that the area manager had indeed recovered the correct vehicle. The suspects had already fled by the time the area manager approached the abandoned vehicle and notified the various parties concerned,” he said.
“SAPS, the tracking company, various other responders, and a relieved owner arrived at the scene a short while later. Investigations are continuing,” he said.
