It is believed that the suspects broke into the local health clinic situated in Blyvoor Uitsig in Pofadder, when the police were summoned to the scene.
Police spotted the Omoda SUV and pursued the suspects on the N14 road in the direction of Aggenys.
The vehicle was eventually stopped and searched approximately 10km outside Pofadder and police discovered the two stolen computers in the boot of the vehicle.
The male (27) and female (34) occupants of the vehicle were arrested and the pearl white Omoda was seized as it was allegedly utilized in the commission of crime.
