Cape Town - Vehicle tracking company Tracker says its crime statistics show an 18% decrease in the number of theft and hijackings reported nationally last month, as compared with the five previous months. The statistics from Tracker’s 1.1million installed vehicle base cover vehicle theft and hijacking, and provide insight into the time of day and day of the week when vehicle crime is most likely to occur in South Africa.
Tracker also reported having reached the milestone of 100 000 vehicle recoveries this month - the company’s total since its inception in 1996. Spokesperson Nandi Canning said Tracker data indicated that most vehicles were hijacked or stolen on a Saturday. This was followed by Thursday and Friday for hijackings and theft respectively.
“Most hijackings are reported between 8pm and 9pm, followed by 12am and 2pm on any day of the week, while theft of a vehicle is reported between 11am and 2pm.”
