A truck driver was hijacked after he was pulled over by what appeared to be a police van last Friday morning.
Springs police spokesperson Capt Johannes Ramphora says the truck driver was on the N12 East, just past the Etwatwa off-ramp, when a police van with blue lights on top indicated he should stop.
The victim didn’t stop, so the police van cut in front of the truck, forcing the driver to stop.
