A man was hijacked in Carletonville’s main street last weekend.

This crime took place on March 29.

The man, 52, was driving his Honda Fit when he saw two hitchhikers next to the Toyota service dealership on Annan Road at approximately 19:00.

The men asked for a lift to the 007 shopping complex, and the driver agreed to take them there.

When they, however, stopped at 007, one of the hitchhikers pulled out a firearm and pointed it at the owner. The hijackers forced him to get out of his own car and sped off with it.
