Hijacked vehicle recovered in Emawothi
A white Isuzu bakkie was recovered by members of Reaction Unit South Africa (RUSA) shortly after it was hijacked by two suspects in Redcliffe, Verulam.
Reaction Officers received information that an employee of a plumbing company was approached by two men who produced firearms and forced him out of the vehicle. The suspects then sped off with the bakkie that was loaded with tools and plumbing equipment. The victim managed to contact his employer who activated the tracking device.
Reaction Officers received continuous updates from Tracker regarding the vehicle’s location in Emawothi. Officers converged on the area and recovered the bakkie abandoned on a gravel road. Several panels in the vehicle were stripped as the suspects searched for the tracking device. The tools and equipment were still in the vehicle.
An extensive search was conducted for the gunmen however no arrests were made.
