Pretoria West police are searching for four armed suspects after a delivery vehicle loaded with medication was hijacked at the corner of Maltzan and Soutter streets on September 28.
Police officers on patrol were alerted to the crime involving an RTT Logistics truck. According to station spokesperson Constable Sibongile Vuma, the assailants forced the driver into the cargo box alongside the stock before driving away.
The RTT delivery truck, left abandoned with the boxes in the cargo hold, rummaged through and its doors open, with private security and police vehicles at the front and back.
“Only certain medicine boxes were stolen from the truck, according to information from the driver, who, upon arrival, was found tied inside the back of the truck, unharmed at the scene. The relevant role players were called to the scene of recovery,” Vuma said.
No arrests have been made, and the investigation remains ongoing as the suspects are unknown and remain at large.
