TEN Namibians were arrested in connection with the theft of motor vehicles that were later recovered in Angola.
Ohangwena regional crime investigations coordinator, Deputy Commissioner Zacharia Amakali said 45 vehicles were stolen in the region from January 2019 to April 2021.
Amakali noted that thus far, a total of 26 vehicles were recovered of which 8 were recovered in Angola, while 19 vehicles are yet to be recovered.
