At the end of the hire period, the company activated the vehicles\u2019 tracking devices and discovered that they were parked in a condominium in Chimoio.<\/p>\n<p>Johannesburg Hertz Car Rental immediately informed Interpol, which contacted SERNIC, who on Friday went to the house in question, armed with a search warrant.<\/p>\n<p>There are rumours that alleged protectionism prevented the recovery of vehicles. What is known is that the owner of the residence contacted his lawyer, and that the chief prosecutor of the city of Chimoio prevented the vehicles from being repossessed.<\/p>\n<p>SERNIC is in no doubt that the scheme is facilitated by agents working in customs clearance, registration and the assignment of other vehicle documents.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe network is very complex.
