A man was hijacked by a suspect wearing an SAPS reflector jacket and cap yesterday morning on the N12 East Benoni.
Springs police spokesperson Capt Johannes Ramphora says the victim was driving a white Hino truck with the registration DN70PS GP along the N12, when he was stopped by a black Tuscon car with blue lights and four occupants.
One of the occupants stepped out of the car, wearing an SAPS reflector jacket and cap and asked the driver for driver’s licence and to search the truck.
