A courier van was hijacked yesterday morning in Fulcrum, says Springs Police spokesperson Capt Johannes Ramphora.
The complainant was delivering a cellphone to a local company and was being escorted by a security van.
As the complainant was driving out the client’s gate, a white VW Caravelle blocked his path and four armed suspects jumped out of the Caravelle and headed towards the driver.

The first two suspects approached the delivery van driver and ordered him to get out of the van.
The other two suspects approached the security van, which was still inside the company’s yard.
They relieved the security guard of his gun and his cellphone.
Two of the suspects then pushed the driver of the courier van out of his vehicle and drove off with the van and its parcels.
