The vehicle was tracked by Discovery Tracking, indicating it was travelling northbound on the N2. Acting on the intelligence, members strategically positioned themselves on the N2 just after the Sibaya off-ramp and maintained observation of northbound traffic while searching for the hijacked vehicle.
