Cable Thieves Stopped in their Tracks
Alleged cable thieves were stopped in their get-away tracks this morning when their car was involved in a serious accident with a MBA Security Vehicle on Beyers Naude outside the Zandspruit 
Informal Settlement.
Just after five this morning, private security and Police received call of cable theft in Honeydew. Police and security responded to the area, but could not find anything. Moments later they received reports of a serious accident, not far from
the the original incident.
It is believed that the suspects tried to turn back onto Beyers Naude when they noticed the security and police. The suspect's vehicle then collided with a bakkie from MBA Security causing it to overturn and rip the suspect's Datsun Skyline into pieces.
When paramedics arrived on the scene of the crash, they found approximately 12 patients in and on the side of the road. Two of the suspects were lying next to their vehicle. One of the suspects sustained major injuries and basic life functions had to be taken over by paramedics on scene, another
was slightly injured with facial injuries. It is believed that another two suspects fled the scene on foot. It would be a miracle if they did not sustain any injuries, judging on the mechanism of the car.
Approximately ten security members from the MBA Security company were slightly injured when their vehicle overturned. One of the members were treated on scene and transported to a nearby hospital for further medical treatment.
A cable was still visible from the wreckage and laid across the road between the two pieces of the car. It is fortunate that no-one else were seriously injured in this ordeal.
The Beyers Naude was blocked off for the duration of the investigation and the treatment off the injured. The SAPS and Johannesburg Metro Police's Accident Investigation Unit will be conducting an investigation.
Both of the suspects were placed under arrest by the Honeydew Police and transported per ER24 ambulance to the Leratong Hospital.
Commuters slowed down long after the accident to have a look at the wrecked vehicles. The road was re-opened only two hours later and traffic was still slow in both directions.
