A truck driver was hijacked after pulling over after what appeared to be a police car flashed their lights at him on Sunday afternoon on the Etwatwa offramp on the N12.
The driver was approached by a suspect wearing what appeared to be a police uniform with a firearm, while the other suspect went to the passenger side and said there was something wrong with the truck.
After the suspects put the victim in their car, the other suspect drove the truck for approximately an hour and eventually dropped him off at a mielie field in Sundra.

The victim called for help and reported the incident to Sundra police.
The truck was eventually found in Welgedacht on the same day.
Value of the goods stolen is R250 000.
It appears the suspects had a jamming device that blocked the tracker from working properly from the moment it was hijacked.
There were no shots fired during the hijacking and the driver was not injured.
