South Africa’s (SA) Border Management Authority’s (BMA) new Vehicle Targeting System (VTS) has already intercepted 18 vehicles at the Beitbridge border post.
The system was launched on October 18. Law enforcement officials say the technology-based system assists them in identifying stolen vehicles that criminals want to smuggle across the border.
Some vehicles that get flagged are still under financing and have not been authorised for cross-border travel.
The VTS uses advanced software and technology to trace suspected stolen vehicles.
The system also tracks vehicles under finance by different banks.
The vehicles are intercepted at the border before they can be smuggled into neighbouring countries.
