Tips to avoid a hijacking

MIDRAND - Midrand police issued the following precautions for community members to avoid a hijacking situation.

  •  Know your environment: Get to know who belongs in the vicinity of your home or workplace and who does not.
  •  Keep your eyes open for anything out of the ordinary.
  •  Lock all doors and close windows before driving off.
  •  Try to vary your route to places visited regularly.
  •  Ensure all your mirrors are adjusted to give you an optimal all around view of your surroundings.
  •  Try to stop about 5m behind the car in front of you at robots as it makes an easier getaway if trouble arises.

Do not be fooled by:

  •  An accident such as having your car rammed from behind.
  •  Someone trying to get help next to a stationary car.
  •  Your electric gate being jammed.
