Sanral says security at toll gates will be beefed up following a hijacking incident.
“Sanral’s camera network across the country has assisted police in their investigations and securing convictions of criminals on a number of occasions, and the agency will continue to work with law enforcement agencies to create safer spaces for all road users,” it said.
Toll lanes are particularly suitable for this method as the target vehicle would be funneled into a narrow lane and blocked off by vehicles behind it, as well as the hijackers’ vehicle ahead. The SAPS also highlighted a disturbing new trend in hijacking cases, with a growing number of incidents now also involving kidnappings as part of the crime.
