A driver who stopped to help another motorist he presumed needed assistance was hijacked last Wednesday.
The victim was driving his Mercedes-Benz on the N17 to a business meeting in Kinross.
“He noticed a white BMW flicking its lights at him. He assumed the driver needed directions,” explained Capt Johannes Ramphora, communications officer of Springs SAPS.

The victim stopped and then saw three men approaching him.
The men, who were armed with guns, got into the victim’s car and forced him into the backseat.
“Two of the thugs got into the front and one was in the back with the victim. They took him to an unknown place with a lot of other cars,” added Ramphora.
The criminals also made off with the victim’s bank cards and cellphones.
