    At the identified premises, several stolen "cloned" vehicles, that were due to be containerised, were recovered. The shipping company took vehicle bookings from customers and then loaded the the stolen vehicles in shared containers. The shipping instruction was that when the vehicles arrive in Durban, South Africa, they would be removed by the shipping agent and delivered to the respective customers.
