Stolen car found in living room

TRACKER recovery crews and police found a new hiding place for stolen vehicles when they discovered a hijacked Toyota RunX inside what appeared to be the living room of a house in Germiston.

Tracker spokesperson Gareth Crocker yesterday said a stolen bakkie was tracked to the house on Monday, but when police inspected the house they also found a second vehicle parked inside what appeared to be a fake living room.

“From the outside, the living room appears to be part of the front of the house and seems totally normal, complete with modern windows and curtains. But inside the entire wall is built on a hinge mechanism which is able to wing open, like a large barn door, allowing vehicles to be driven inside.” — dispatch
