Hijackers make off with beer, leave truck in Babanango
A hijacked beer-laden truck was recovered in KZN, with 148 crates recovered and six still missing as police search for suspects.
A truck fully laden with crates of beer was hijacked in Babanango, KZN, yesterday and later found abandoned along the R68.
According to Zululand Observer, Zululand Cluster police spokesperson Captain Nkosie Gwala says the truck was found empty.
“All the beer had gone. The 154 loaded crates were loaded at Ulundi Ultra Liquors and were being delivered to Nkandla Ikhwezi wholesalers on Tuesday. It is believed that it was hijacked at Ulundi 19.
“Police received a complaint and, together with Abe Jonstone from Zulutrack, the truck was found abandoned between Nkandla and Babanango without any stock,” Gwala adds.
A search was conducted in the bushes for the missing beers.
“One hundred and forty-eight crates of Black Label beers were found hidden in the bushes. Six crates were not found. Police continued to search for suspects, but they were nowhere to be found,” says Gwala, and adds that a case of hijacking and theft was registered for further investigation.
