“JMPD police officers were patrolling the area when they saw three suspicious vehicles following each other. They tried to stop them but they sped off. When they finally stopped them they discovered that one of the vehicles, a Mercedes Benz had been hijacked in Jeppe,”said Protea Glen police spokesperson sergeant Vincent Mashiteng.
