FREE STATE – Five suspects sought for carjacking incident that occurred on Tuesday 19 April 2022 at about 07:40. The 56-year-old victim alleges that as he was driving, he was signalled by a vehicle indicating that something was falling off behind his vehicle.
That vehicle then drove off and the victim stopped to check his vehicle. A brown Citroen vehicle stopped and two males got off and pointed the man with a firearm. The two suspects then took the victim towards the bushes where he had stopped and blind folded him.
It is believed that another vehicle came and the victim was taken inside with three more suspects and drove off where they left him at an unknown area in Ennerdale.
The victim’s white Toyota Hilux was later recovered in Sebokeng on the same day.
Anyone with information regarding this incident may contact Warrant Officer Moshoeshoe Mohale from Vehicle Crime Investigation Unit (VCIU) on 076 791 5740.
The Provincial Commissioner, Lt General Baile Motswenyane requests motorist not to fall prey to these perpetrators with such modus operandi.
“Do not stop where it’s not necessary but rather find a place of safety or where the public can assist should one find themselves in such situations”, concluded the Provincial Commissioner.
