Fake police officers sought

Three hijackers dressed in police uniforms are being sought by the Krugersdorp and Muldersdrift South African Police Service.

Lieutenant Katlego Mogale, a police spokesperson says that a suspects abandoned an Audi S3 after hitting a speed bump at high speed on the R540 Krugersdorp on Saturday 5 October.

The vehicle, fitted with blue lights and a siren, was hijacked in Olievenhoutbos in Centurion in September.

Mogale says the three men flagged down a bakkie belonging to a nearby nature reserve and forced the driver at gunpoint to drive them from the scene.

“Minutes later they abandoned the bakkie on the M5 in Muldersdrift and hijacked a white Hyundai Tucson, which they also abandoned, leaving a handheld radio inside.”
