“It is alleged that suspects are targeting delivery vehicles in the area,” said Const Maxwell Mabunda, communications officer for the Germiston SAPS.
“The suspects reportedly hijack the vehicles, using firearms, then take the vehicle and driver a short distance from the hijacking scene and empty out the vehicle.
“They then release the driver and return the vehicle.”
