Motorists warned against criminals placing spikes on public roads

The Gauteng Traffic Police would like to warn motorists against criminals placing spikes or objects on public roads to rob them. The department has in recent times noted a rise in incidents of spikes placed strategically on the freeways by criminals.
Meanwhile, hard objects were in recent times thrown from overhead bridges resulting in motorists losing control of their vehicles, involved in unnecessary accidents, and robbed of their belongings in the process.
The modus operandi is that these criminals move from one area to the other where the roads are quiet to rob motorists of their hard-earned cash and other belongings. These incidents happen especially on Friday evening and throughout the weekend between 6 pm and 4 am.
“The placing of spikes has resulted in many road users involved in unwarranted accidents and some even losing their lives through these ruthless acts. The Gauteng Traffic Police will continue to conduct law enforcement operations on Gauteng major routes and freeways to ensure that anyone found placing an object is apprehended to face the full might of the law,” said Sello Maremane, Gauteng Traffic Police Spokesperson.
