Another Toyota Hilux GD6 hijacked; this time the driver was shot
Three Toyota Hilux GD6 bakkies were hijacked in seven days
A man is in hospital after being shot during a hijacking.
The hijacking happened on April 27 in Old Coronation.
The man was driving a Toyota Hilux GD6.
This is the third Toyota Hilux GD6 hijacked in the past week.
On April 22 two Toyota Hilux GD6 bakkies were hijacked on the N12 close to the Delmas off-ramp.
The drivers of the bakkies were on their way from eMalahleni towards Johannesburg.
Both the vehicles were stopped by a vehicle with a blue light on the roof and a siren.
The suspects wore police uniforms.
It is important for drivers to be vigilant, especially at night following the recent increase in hijackings.
“The hijacker has the element of surprise,” said Captain Eddie Hall police spokesperson.
He said drivers must plan their routes carefully.
“Plan your route carefully to avoid driving at night. If you suspect you are a target, drive to your nearest police station,” Hall said.
He said that if you are confronted by a hijacker, the first thing to remember is that your life is worth more than your vehicle.
