Two British citizens have been arrested after they allegedly ignored border officials and sped off into South Africa from Swaziland on Saturday.
According to national police commissioner Brigadier Vishnu Naidoo, members from the South African Police Service’s Vehicle Crime Investigation Unit and members from Tracker Connect arrested the tourists at a guest house in Glenmore, Durban, after receiving information of British nationals who had arrived in South Africa in a vehicle they had allegedly hired illegally.
The 42-year-old manager of the guest house was also arrested for violation of Covid-19 regulations and detained at a local police station. The rental vehicle was impounded. “The suspects instead disregarded the order and drove off at high speed into South Africa and evaded the police who had given chase.”
