“After receiving information about the hijacking and the direction the vehicle had taken, the EMPD First Responder Unit (FRU) members moved swiftly in that direction,” said Kgasago.
The EMPD spotten the vehicle and chased after it.
“A high speed chase ensued. The hijacked vehicle was driven at dangerous, breakneck speed and skipped red traffic lights in the process,” said Kgasago.
“The Volvo was driving in the direction of Kingsway.”
