Swift response to information received by members of SAPS Despatch led to the arrest of one suspect and the recovery of a hijacked truck on the off ramp from the R75 to Botha Street in Despatch on Friday 26 June 2024.
According to information, the victim was travelling on the R75 near Joe Slovo at about 10h00 busy with deliveries in Kariega when his three crew members noticed a gold-coloured Ford Ranger driving next to them with three males on the back and two males in the front of the bakkie. The three males at the back were armed with firearms and pointed at the victim, and attempted to force him off the road. When he failed to stop, a shot was fired at him, which forced him to stop.
Two suspects drove off with the truck, and the driver's cellphone was taken. Shortly after they drove off, they stopped the truck, and both suspects jumped out and ran away.
