The complainant had parked his white Nissan Caravan (registration number AEL 1948) outside the gate and stepped out to open it, leaving the vehicle idling with the keys still in the ignition.
Tazvitya and his accomplice allegedly emerged from the darkness and struck the complainant on the upper left ear with an unknown object, knocking him unconscious. They then drove away with the vehicle.
The complainant later regained consciousness and reported the matter at ZRP Marlborough.
On August 29, detectives from CID Vehicle Theft Squad tracked down Tazvitya and arrested him at his residence.
They also recovered the stripped shell of the vehicle hidden at his father’s home in Overspill, Epworth.
