DURBAN - A Durban man was in for a surprise when he discovered his car was stripped bare while it was at a police impound lot in Isipingo.

Thulani Cebekhulu's Opel Corsa was hijacked on 10 December 2021 after his brother was robbed at gunpoint by two unidentified men. The car was recovered in April 2022 and according to Cebekhulu was in mint condition barring some minor tampering.

According to DispatchLIVE, Cebekhulu claimed the car was driven to the impound lot for further investigation, but the man expected to get the vehicle back soon as he needed it for his business.

When enquiries were made about when Cebekhulu could get his car back, he was met with resistance from the police, who would not let the man see his car.

The police only allowed him to see his car after Cebekhulu got his attorney involved and what he saw completely floored him. All that was left on the Corsa was the shell and the seats, TimesLIVE reported.

Now Cebekhulu wants answers from the police. The man said:

“I still don't understand why would the car be stripped whilst at the pound. Who permitted them to do that? Who did it? Where are the parts? I have a lot of questions."

South Africans aren't convinced Cebekhulu will get any answers and have complained about the criminality in the SA Police Service.

This is what citizens are saying:

@mxh22 said:

"He will not get any. It is standard procedure to strip cars in SAPS 13 stores."

@ThembaDukie asked:

"Who does the thieving?"

@GlennfromZA complained:

"@SAPoliceService is a criminal syndicate."

@Vincent_Mayeki suggested:

"In fact, he should sue them."

@JmSebothoma claimed:

"That's why crime is so high and uncontrollable. Shame on them."

@Indlabeyiphik accused:

"Some police are criminals hiding in blue uniforms."
