It was reported by the 36-year old owner that he was at Phase Four in Vosman to drop his cousin and he stopped to take water from the boot.
When he returned back to the vehicle, three suspects approached him. One of the suspects pointed him with a firearm and forced him to the boot of his vehicle. They drove with him until they stopped at an unknown shack and the suspects then disconnected the tracker.
After six hours they forced him to the boot again and drove with him until they dropped him off along the road and drove away.
The hijacking was on Monday, October 29 at about 19:30.
Vosman communication officer Constable Khomotso Maluleke warned community members to always be vigilent when driving their vehicles and when they stop at their houses. When they see suspicious vehicles and unkown people around their community, they should report to the police station.
No one has been arrested in both cases and police are investigating.
