Our next story is about another stolen Hilux - which police moved quickly to recover.
On Sunday night, 41 year old Jody Adulphus arrived at home at Blackberry Estate. However, as he was exiting his vehicle, three men ran out of an unfinished addition to his house and held him up. They stole his wallet with $200 in different denominations and the keys for his Toyota Hilux - which they then drove off in.
But, police were able to quickly intercept the truck thieves. ACP Romero told us more.
