Metro police TRU members, who were on patrol on the R300, then tracked down a 34-year-old suspect who was positively identified by the victim.
A 26-year-old woman was allegedly forced into a vehicle after being stopped by a traffic official in Philippi East, said police spokesperson Colonel Andrè Traut.
The incident has been described in a voice note, widely shared on social media, by a woman who claims she saw the kidnapping take place just after 17:00. City of Cape Town Safety and Security acting executive director Wayne le Roux confirmed the incident had taken place on the R300. He said a traffic officer saw two vehicles pull up during his engagement with the woman, and two or three suspects approached him.
The police, who responded to the traffic officer’s call, found the woman’s car at the scene and were then notified of a nearby accident involving the getaway car.
