A man making a delivery in Black Reef Road, Wadeville, recently, became the target of hijackers.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe complainant alleged that he was driving a company vehicle, a Mazda Rustler, to Scaw Metals to make a delivery, when a white VW Golf pulled up next to him while he was stationary at a red robot,\u201d said Const Daphney Phooko, communications officer for the Elsburg SAPS.<\/p>
\u201cIn the VW Golf were three coloured males.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne of the men, armed with a firearm, got out of the vehicle and approached the complainant on the driver\u2019s side of his vehicle, while another approached him from the passenger side.\u201d<\/p>
The armed robber allegedly grabbed him and pulled him out of the bakkie, while pointing the firearm in his face.<\/p>\n
The two men searched the complainant and took R200 cash and a LG cellphone valued at R8 000.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey then forced him into the Golf and drove away with him,” said Phooko.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey dropped him in an informal settlement in Lawley Park, near Lenasia, and he went to the Lenasia Police Station, where he opened a case of hijacking.\u201d<\/p>\n
The complainant\u2019s vehicle had not been recovered and no arrests had been made at the time of going to press.<\/p>\n
