Koorts\u2019 court appearance emanated from his arrest following separate cases of motor vehicle theft which were reported in March and April 2021 in Burgersdorp, Lichtenburg.<\/p>\n
In the first incident, the owner of a white Tata Bakkie, a black Toyota Cressida, a trailer and caravan left her house on Tuesday, 23 March 2021. She returned on Friday morning, 26 March 2021, and discovered that her motor vehicles, trailer and caravan were stolen.<\/p>\n
In another separate incident on Tuesday, 06 April 2021, Koorts allegedly borrowed a Kia Sportage from a 68-year-old complainant. He never returned the vehicle and later reported that he was hijacked in Pretoria.<\/p>\n
