A logistics company in Witbank recently announced a R100,000 reward for any information leading to the recovery of two stolen side tipper trucks and the arrest of the two Zimbabwean suspects involved.
The company urges the public to assist in locating the missing vehicles and bringing the perpetrators to justice.
Two Trucks stolen in Witbank
The theft occurred early on Saturday morning, when two truck drivers, Tendai Luke Tarwirei Nemukuyu (22) and Collen Mudhala (41), allegedly drove off with the vehicles. Both suspects, Zimbabwean nationals employed by the company, were expected to leave the trucks parked in the yard from Friday until Monday. However, they reportedly drove away at approximately 01:00, after which they deactivated the tracking systems.
Last Known Locations of The Stolen Trucks
According to tracking records, the trucks were last detected at the company’s premises in Witbank before the signals were disrupted. The stolen vehicles include: A 2022 Scania G460, white in color, with a grey Trailmax trailer and a second truck with blue Trailmax trailers.
Authorities and Company Appeal for Assistance
The company emphasises that the R100,000 reward reflects their commitment to recovering their assets. They encourage anyone with relevant information to come forward.
According to News Panther, Loice, a spokesperson for the company, has called on anyone with information about the theft to come forward. She urged the public to help locate the stolen trucks. She also provided a contact number for tips: +27 75 198 8674.
