Both vehicles were fitted with blue lights.
A Toyota Camry with four occupants was also involved in the incident.

Once the bakkie driver had stopped, he was approached by the men from the Camry.
They covered his face and bound his hands with rope.
He was forced into the boot of the Camry and it was driven off.
After travelling for some time, the car stopped and the victim was untied and let go.
He caught a taxi to the Orlando Police Station and reported the incident.
