The victim alleged that he was driving alone in his grey Audi when he heard long sound on his vehicle and stopped to check.
According to Springs police spokesperson Sergeant Themba Tshabalala, as he was getting out of his car, an unknown vehicle pulled up next to him and an unidentified man then grabbed and pushed him into the backseat of his vehicle.
“Two other men got into the car, with one taking the driver’s seat and driving away,” Tshabalala said.

The victim sought help from people he met at the drop-off point.
