A BI-NATIONAL police task team recovered almost 200 stolen South African vehicles from Mozambican motorists in the capital of Maputo last week. Interior ministry spokesman Abilio Quive said a joint team of police, customs and Attorney General officials from both countries seized 90 vehicles on Tuesday alone. “Word immediately spread about the operation and people began hiding their cars at home and rather walked to work instead,” said Quive. A further 110 stolen vehicles, largely luxury models such as BMWs and Mercedes Benz 4x4s, were nevertheless recovered from motorists by Friday. – African Eye News Service
