The message states that the gang uses a Toyota bakkie to stop unsuspecting motorists.

The gang is known for impersonating police officers and driving cars fitted with police blue lights.

The viral messages also urged motorists using the N4 to drive to the nearest police station if they encounter the vehicle.

• Mpumalanga Police spokesperson Brigadier Selvy Mohlala said the police have not received any complaints and no case was opened with the police recently.
