Tshivhase said while the truck was stationary at the stop sign, one hijacker apparently approached the driver and pointed a firearm at him. The attacker got out of a white Almera which was occupied by another three of his accomplices.
“The suspect dragged the driver out of the truck and ordered him to get into their car. They took off and dropped him off in Melrose. The truck was later recovered in Parktown on the corner of Queens Street and Empire Road.”
Some of the contents which were inside the truck were stolen, Tshivhase said, adding that all the suspects had fled the scene.
