On Wednesday, police divers found the front part and bumper of the car as well as a reflective jacket of one of the deceased officers in the river.
Experts are trying to establish if the vehicle parts are linked to the VW Polo that the three police officers were travelling in. A police reflector jacket belonging to one of the deceased police officers has also been found. Earlier this week, the river was declared a crime scene after five bodies were retrieved; three were those of police officers who were confirmed missing last Wednesday. SAPS divers, City of Tshwane divers and EMS, SAPS Special Task Force (STF) divers, and Search and Rescue South Africa have located a metal object that they suspect may be part of the missing vehicle. This metal object was felt by divers 4km from the N1. There is no confirmation as yet, as this metal object is covered by debris.”
