When he approached them in his patrol vehicle, the men jumped into the Golf and sped away. Paarl Police were immediately informed about the incident, and with the help of the ADT officer who gave chase, the vehicle was brought to a halt in Retief Street, Paarl North. On further investigation it was discovered that the car had been stolen earlier that evening in Amstelhof, Paarl East. In addition, one of the occupants of the vehicle was currently out on parole and is a known burglar in the area, according to the police.
