Glenwood, Durban — 16 May 2026. A Mitsubishi truck stolen from the Glenwood UIP area was recovered in Ntuzuma after Homeland Security members kept searching once the tracking unit had been stripped from the vehicle.
Summary of Events
On 16 May 2026, Homeland Security TRT and the Homeland Security Glenwood UIP TRT received an urgent alert via the BSURF Community Group regarding a Mitsubishi truck (Reg: XXXXXXX) that had just been stolen from Garner's Lane, within the Glenwood UIP area.
Homeland Security Reaction Units were immediately dispatched and responded to location updates received from the vehicle's tracking company, which led members to KwaMashu J Section. On arrival, only the vehicle's tracking unit was recovered.
Despite this setback, Homeland Security members continued searching known hotspot areas and remained committed to locating the stolen vehicle. Their persistence paid off.
