MMC COMMENDS JMPD TACTICAL RESPONSE UNIT AFTER GRUESOME DISCOVERY AND ARRESTS IN SOWETO
SOWETO – The Member of the Mayoral Committee (MMC) for Public Safety in the City of Johannesburg, Cllr Moshe Koma, has highly commended the Johannesburg Metropolitan Police Department (JMPD) Tactical Response Unit (TRU) for a swift operation that uncovered a hijacked government vehicle and led to a horrifying discovery of suspected human organs.
The dramatic breakthrough occurred on the evening of Thursday, 9 July 2026, culminating in the arrest of two male suspects at a residential property on Nape Street in Naledi, Soweto.
The Road to the Discovery
The operation began when JMPD tactical officers conducting routine crime prevention patrols received an urgent tip-off regarding a vehicle allegedly being stripped for parts at a local residence.
Upon arriving at the specified address, tactical teams observed that the property's main gate was open. Moving further into the yard, officers noticed the front door of the house was partially open. After knocking loudly and receiving no response from within, the team entered the home under emergency protocols to investigate.
Inside, officers confronted a male suspect. Upon being questioned regarding the vehicle, the suspect admitted that the car they were looking for was parked inside the property's garage and claimed it belonged to the homeowner.
Hijacked Department of Health Vehicle Recovered
A thorough inspection of the locked garage revealed a white Volkswagen Caddy.
Officers ran the vehicle's details through the police national verification system, which confirmed it belonged to the National Department of Health. The vehicle had been positively flagged as hijacked and was already in the advanced stages of being stripped down for illicit parts distribution.
Tactical teams then expanded their perimeter search around the property, leading to the apprehension of a second male suspect who was found hiding in the backyard.
Buckets of Human Organs Found
While processing the crime scene and searching the rest of the yard, officers made a deeply disturbing discovery. They uncovered two buckets containing what authorities strongly believe to be harvested human organs.
JMPD officials later identified the organic matter inside the buckets as human hearts and lungs.
MMC Moshe Koma described the gruesome finding as deeply shocking and praised the JMPD TRU members for their exceptional vigilance, professionalism, and decisive tactical response.
Both suspects were immediately processed, arrested, and transported to the Naledi Police Station.
They currently face serious criminal charges, including:
Unlawful possession of a hijacked motor vehicle.
Illegal and unauthorized possession of human tissue/organs.
SAPS and JMPD tracking units are continuing an intensive joint investigation to determine the exact origin of the human organs and to trace the whereabouts of the property's homeowner, who remains at large.
