Reports of suspected road spiking incidents are once again mounting in and around Pretoria, with fresh warnings over the past two weeks involving the N4 eastbound near Donkerhoek and the R21 just after the N1 Flying Saucer interchange.
With several motorists reportedly suffering tyre damage, attention has again turned to the major routes around Pretoria that criminals appear to be targeting.
