Five vehicles were damaged in so-called “spike attacks” on Wednesday night, September 8, in the north of Pretoria, according to a local security company.
The attacks reportedly happened near Wintersnest area on the R566 (K8) crossing near the N4, between 21:00 to 23:00.

“At least five vehicles were attacked by using a stone to bring the vehicles to a stop,” wrote GAC Risk Solutions.
