A driver was hijacked after he was tricked into pulling over on the N17 last Thursday evening, says Springs Police spokesperson Capt Johannes Ramphora.
The complainant was driving a Mercedes-Benz truck horse with registration number HW21DV GP and trailer registration number HX89ZW GP, with oil as cargo, on the N17 when two vehicles passed him and both alerted him that there was something wrong at the back of the truck.
