A police spokesperson confirmed they were hunting for more occupants of a stolen vehicle after it was sighted and failed to stop.

“The vehicle fled and was not pursued but police maintained observations and followed it to the Timona Park area where it has been abandoned.”

“Two people have been arrested and officers are working to locate any further occupants.”
