THE Elliot police have recovered a suspected hijacked vehicle after giving chase to a suspicious-looking vehicle in the town earlier this week.

Police spokeswoman Captain Ursula Roelofse said visible policing unit members were patrolling in the town when they noticed the vehicle and occupants who were allegedly trying to steal tyres and parts from trucks parked int he streets.

As a police member approached the vehicle, it sped away in the direction of Engcobo with the police in pursuit.

During the chase, the bakkie left the road with the driver fleeing the scene, Roelofse said.

She said police were investigating the possibility that the vehicle had been hijacked in Mthatha on Monday.
