Durban companies fined over stolen property
Two Durban companies that deal in car parts have been slapped with fines for receiving stolen property.
The Durban Regional Court heard how Wind Motors tried to ship off a container with illicit goods to Mauritius in 2018.
Authorities say the container was filled with vehicle parts linked to theft, robbery and fraud cases in Durban.

It also emerged an export company, South x South 29, had also received a stolen car from a business associate.
The KZN NPA's Natasha Kara said: "Recently, two Durban-based companies, Wind Motors and South x South 29 (Pty) Ltd pleaded guilty to two counts of receiving stolen property and one of failing to register as a motor vehicle builder.
"The Durban Regional Court sentenced them to a collective fine of R 150 000. The NPA welcomed this successful prosecution."
