Hunt for hijackers

Alexandra police are looking for four suspects in connection with a hijacking which allegedly took place on January 12 at Far East Bank at 5:45am.

Police spokesperson, Warrant Officer Moses Maphakela said the driver of the car, a silver Toyota Avanza, was transporting four passengers in his vehicle when the incident occurred.

“They wanted to be dropped off and when they got out of the car two of them pointed firearms at the driver. They took his phones and drove off,” Maphakela said. He said one of the suspects had bloodstains on his shirt.

“The car is valued at around R240 000,” said Maphakela.

No one has been arrested and the car has not been found. Police are investigating a case of car hijacking.
