Police are investigating an alleged hijacking of two people’s cars and abduction by their assailants.
According to Mpumalanga police spokesperson, Colonel Donald Mdhluli, the incident took place on Wednesday.
Later that night on, the two victims were found safe, and the hijacking suspects had fled, abandoning the two vehicles.
Mdhluli said this began when there was a meeting held outside a primary school in Nyongane, outside Hazyview in Mpumalanga.
“One of the attendees had a mechanical problem with his car and others were trying to assist him. During the process, three armed suspects emerged out of nowhere and pointed at them with firearms. The suspects then forced two victims into the boot of two VW Polo’s then drove away,” he said.
The incident was promptly reported to the police, and members from Hazyview mobilized their resources to trace the vehicles and locate the victims.
The circumstances in which the victims were tracked down were not disclosed by the authorities.
The police are still in search of the suspects, and anyone who knows where they are is urged to call the Crime Stoppers number.
Lieutenant General Semakaleng Daphney Manamela, police commissioner in Mpumalanga, congratulated the police for their quick response and expressed gratitude that the victims and their cars were discovered safely.
“We really applaud members for their dedication and commitment in fighting crime. We will continue to remain steadfast in our endeavour to deal decisively with crime. Our search for the suspects continue,” said Manamela.
