A Matrix Recovery Service client called in at 05:38 on 5 September 2010 to report the hijacking of one of his vehicles. Apparently, the driver was on his way to do some deliveries in the Meadowlands area when several people blocked the road and then pulled him out of the truck and drove off.
Matrix Recovery Service dispatched its ground and air at 05:40 to the vehicle’s last updated position which was in Poortview, Soweto. The unit then updated with another position in Volksrus. Matrix Recovery Service agents who were positioned in the Volksrus area were immediately dispatched, while the other Matrix Recovery Service agents who were in the Soweto area proceeded back to posts.
The Matrix Recovery Service team in Volksrus recovered the vehicle while apprehending one suspect.
