The Bedfordview SAPS is conducting investigations after a husband, wife and son were the victims of an armed robbery on the N3 highway.
The family was driving along the N3 when they noticed a blue sedan with three occupants attempting to stop their vehicle.
One of the men in the sedan pointed a firearm at them. The victim stopped the vehicle and the suspects exited the sedan and proceeded to search the family’s vehicle, stealing their cellular phones, a bag containing money and other belongings.
The Bedfordview SAPS communications officer, Sergeant Mduduzi Nhlabathi said, “Investigations are continuing. We are appealing to anybody who might have witnessed this crime to come forward and give the Bedfordview SAPS information.”
“It has come to our attention that more and more motorists are falling victim to these crimes. Motorist should be careful about stopping on a highway for strangers. Genuine police officials will always introduce themselves properly with proper identification cards,” said Sgt Nhlabathi.
“We also want to caution motorists who happen to get breakdowns on highways to take extra care while waiting for assistance. Remain in your car and keep the car locked,” said Sgt Nhlabathi. @BedfordJourno
