MUSINA — A brazen attempt to smuggle a stolen luxury vehicle across the Limpopo River ended in a dramatic shootout on Friday, as South African security forces engaged a group of suspected carjackers near the Zimbabwean border. The high-speed pursuit, which involved both the South African Police Service (SAPS) and the South African National Defence Force (SANDF), resulted in the recovery of a grey Toyota Prado valued at approximately R700,000.

Semono confirmed that the Local Criminal Record Centre of SAPS was called in to process the firearm and take over the investigation.
