CCTV footage has emerged of a driver of a white Mercedes Benz being hijacked by two armed men who were masked in black balaclavas at a Sasol garage near Clearwater Mall last night, 19 July, on the West Rand, Roodepoort Northsider reports.
The hijacking took place just after 8pm at the garage on the corner of Christiaan De Wet Road and Wilhelmina Avenue.
An informant from the garage indicated that the police were informed about the incident last night, but the complainant had to wait for about five hours for a police vehicle to attend to the matter.
“Police were informed and everyone waited for them, for maybe five hours,” the man said.

On the footage, the man is being seen forced out of his vehicle by two individuals who exited from a black Audi that drove into the garage seconds after the Benz had arrived. The Audi parked adjacent to the Benz when it arrived and eventually blocked its path while the gun-wielding men and accosted the driver and forced him out of it.
At the moment, it is still unclear whether the Benz had been followed by the suspects. The helpless man sadly watched his car drive away with the suspects.
More to follow.
