The Primrose police joined forces with the Kempton Park police and arrested a 31-year-old man in connection with a car hijacking incident, in Sunnyridge, recently.<\/p>\n

Const Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose police, said the hijack victim had dropped off a colleague in Olympia Road, when a blue Honda stopped near him.<\/p>

“Four men pointed a firearm at the victim,” said Maome.<\/p>\n

“They demanded the victim’s wallet and drove off in his car.”<\/p>

<\/div>\n

After the incident was reported to the Primrose police, the stolen car’s registration number was circulated.<\/p>\n

“The Kempton Park police spotted the car, gave chase and arrested the driver,” added Maome.<\/p>\n

“We thank all the police officers involved; this is a clear indication to criminals that the arm of the law is very long.”<\/p>\n

The man appeared in the Germiston Magistrates Court and was remanded in custody.<\/p>\n
