A suspect’s firearm misfired during a hijacking at the Ireland & Todd Street intersection in the Verulam CBD – KZN.
The 60 year old traumatised driver contacted the Reaction Unit South Africa (RUSA) after two men sped off in his white Datsun Go with registration ND 852 755.
Reaction Officers were immediately dispatched and on arrival were advised that the driver and a work colleague were stationary at the intersection when two armed suspects entered the vehicle.
One of the hijackers attempted to shoot the driver but his pistol misfired. The driver accelerated and collided into a vehicle in front of him. The car drove off without stopping.
It is believed that the occupants were accomplices to the hijacking but this could not be confirmed. The elderly male and the female were thereafter forced out of the car.
Please share this post and if anyone has information regarding the vehicle, kindly contact RUSA on 086 1234 333.
