The majority of thefts and hijackings occur in Gauteng and other northern provinces close to the border. And all vehicles are fair game. Old cars are stolen and stripped for spare parts. Large four-wheel drive vehicles and luxury vehicles are used in cash-in-transit (CIT) robberies, armed robberies and cross-border smuggling.
Victims feel they receive no support from the outnumbered, outgunned and overworked SAPS. Vehicle theft in South Africa is a R5-billion-a-year industry. As a result, they are turning to a new breed of private investigators in South Africa.
