BEWARE: ‘Blue light’ trick leads to hijacking on N2 near Port Shepstone
Sergeant Jacky Marais utilised her new K9 dog, Maverick, in the hopes of finding the hijackers.
Airtrack X-Treme Security, with SAPS K9 Unit Port Shepstone, made a successful recovery yesterday (Thursday).
Hendrik Ludick of Airtrack X-Treme Security said a truck travelling along the N2, within the Port Shepstone policing area, was allegedly stopped by a double cab Ford Ranger.
The Ranger apparently used ‘blue lights’ to pull the truck over to the side of the road.
Ludick said the truck’s driver and the conductor were then taken and placed in the Ranger.
The truck continued along the N2, westbound, while the Ranger headed north towards Durban.
“The victims, fortunately unharmed were dropped along the N2 Malangeni area,” he said.,
Ludick said the inside of the truck was stripped as the suspects searched for the tracking Unit.
Fortunately, the tracking device was well installed.
Warrant Officer Dez Theunisen was joined by Sergeant Jaquelina Marais who utilised her new K9 dog, Maverick, in the search.
No arrests were made.
However, the truck and its cargo were safely impounded in Port Shepstone.
