Investigations are under way after a 22-year-old woman and her aunt were accosted by armed hijackers before they drove off with them
in Brakpan, Gauteng.
“I drove from Springs with my aunt and we were on our way to Masefield Street in Dalpark, to drop something off at a friend’s house,”
said the woman who wished to remain anonymous.
“When we arrived at their driveway, we hooted and my aunt walked to the gate while I went to the backseat to get the things.”
A white Toyota Corolla with four occupants appeared and blocked the victim’s vehicle in the driveway, Brakpan Herald reported.
Two of the occupants approached the women and demanded they get in the backseat of their vehicle.
“They pushed us into the backseat and ordered us to hand over any jewellery or cellphones.
"That’s when one of the suspects took my car keys,” said the victim.
The two hijackers then jumped into the vehicle and drove-off, with the women still inside the car.
“My auntie pleaded with them to let us go. I don’t know how long we were driving around for, until they decided to let us go.
"They didn’t stop the car. The car was still moving while we got out,” added the victim.
Brakpan police Captain Joep Joubert said a case of hijacking was opened and no arrests had been made. (no case of kidnapping was opened).
“Both victims were not injured. Investigation were handed over at a hijacking unit in Brakpan,” added Joubert.
