Spikes in road warning in north
Earlier this week two spike incidents were reported on the N4 and R104 at night.
The Cullinan CPF warned motorists in the area to be careful after four reported incidents this week in which hazardous spikes were placed in the road in attempts to force motorists to stop and rob them.
Two incidents were reported on the N4 and R104 on Thursday evening, while spikes were also found on the N4 before the Rayton/Cullinan off-ramp last night.
Meanwhile, spikes were reported on the R104 near Sammy Marks on Tuesday night.
“Do not stop, drive as far as possible until you find a safe place and immediately call for help,” said Cullinan CPF chairperson Karen Yssel.

“We again want to urge motorists to be vigilant when using the N4 and R104 between Pretoria and Bronkhorstspruit, especially at night. Please look out for objects placed in the road, sometimes the spikes are covered with plastic bags.
“It is also important that you report these incidents to police, even if only your tyres were damaged.”
Earlier in March, various incidents of spikes places in the road were reported in the north.
Spikes were recovered in the north of Pretoria after a local security company and stakeholders started patrolling the area in search of the so-called “spike gang” on the N1 and N4.
Gloves and plastic bags used to cover the spikes were also found close to the Solomon Mahlangu off-ramp on the N4 in the east of Pretoria.
