Africa-Press – South-Africa. Gauteng police are concerned about a surge in hijackings involving bogus cops at certain traffic intersections in Randburg.
Incidents on the William Nicole Drive on- and off-ramps have been reported, as well as on the N1 north and south, between Malibongwe and William Nicol Drives.
According to Randburg police spokesperson Captain Makgowanyana Maja, there has been a reoccurrence of hijackings along those roads.
“The suspects operate in a group of two to four. They use a white Ford Ranger or a white Volkswagen Polo and use a blue light.
“Other vehicles are blue, white or silver Toyota Corollas, a Grey Nissan Navara and a Nissan Almera,” Maja added.
“[V]ictims are held against their will and dropped off in different areas around Gauteng,” he said.
He also warned motorists to be on the lookout for theft from motor vehicles, particularly Volkswagen Polo headlights, which also appear to be on the rise.
