Members of the Elsburg SAPS are hunting for two alleged hijackers.<\/p>\n

The search was launched after a 41-year-old man was attacked and hijacked by two men, at 10am, last Friday at the Rondebult Spar on the R554.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

It is alleged that the victim, driving a white Isuzu bakkie, registration number TML 251 GO, was waiting for the traffic light to turn green when two men approached his vehicle.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the men pointed a firearm at him and ordered him to move over and both the men got into the vehicle,\u201d said Const Daphney Phooko, communications officer for the Elsburg SAPS.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

\u201cThe men then did a U-turn and drove to Kalk Street where they forced the victim into a Mercedes Benz, with an unknown registration number.\u201d<\/p>\n

The men then drove around with the victim and dropped him off near a hostel in Soweto.<\/p>\n

The bakkie was fitted with a tracking device and the complainant can identify his attackers.<\/p>\n

No arrests have been made as yet and the vehicle has not been recovered.<\/p>\n
