AN attempted hijacking last week, left a woman from Halifax Road, Woodlands so traumatised that she could not bring herself to report it to the police until a few days later.
On Thursday 9 June, the victim was pulling away from her driveway when an unknown car stopped behind her, blocking her escape. Three armed men jumped out, pointed guns at her while trying to open the door which was locked.Out of frustration, one of the men banged on the window with his hand. Luckily the victim’s son who has a torch with him came down to the gate and shone the torch on the criminals. “He began shouting at them, making a lot of noise. This caused the three hijackers to jump back into their car and speed off,” said Montclair SAPS communication officer, Lt Dereck Vijiam.
The vehicle is described as a white truck with a canopy, registration is unknown except for the few numbers, 10138.If anyone has information that can help the case contact Montclair SAPS on 031-469-8200.
