A 26-year-old man was recently arrested and charged with attempted hijacking.<\/p>\n
The arrest was made after members of the Primrose CPF cornered the suspect after he reportedly fled the scene of the crime.<\/p>
\u201cIt was reported that a man and his wife were sitting in their car near a restaurant in Rietfontein Road, when they were approached by three men.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne of the men hit the victim in the face with a brick and demanded his keys,\u201d explained communications officer for the Primrose police, Sgt Styles Maome.<\/p>
The terrified screams of the victim\u2019s wife caught the attention of three Primrose CPF members, who were eating in the restaurant.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen the suspects saw the patrollers they ran away leaving even their own vehicle behind,\u201d said Maome.<\/p>\n
The patrollers gave chase and cornered one of the men.<\/p>\n
The Primrose police were called to the scene and the man was arrested.<\/p>\n
He has since appeared in the Germiston Magistrates Court, where his case was postponed for a bail application.<\/p>\n
