At approximately 21h42 last night, Marshall Security’s Special Operations Team was activated by Tracker SA following an attempted hijacking on Phumpele Road in Savannah Park, Pinetown.
Upon receiving the urgent call, our Special Operations Team proceeded immediately to the last known location of the incident. Upon arrival, it was reported that suspects had attempted to hijack the driver of a red VW Polo. The victim, in an attempt to escape, managed to drive away but collided with another vehicle during the process. Tragically, he sustained a gunshot wound to the upper arm.
Mariannhill SAPS and Medical Responders were promptly notified and quickly arrived on the scene to provide support. The injured driver was transported to a local hospital for treatment.
The investigation into the hijacking attempt is ongoing, and we are working closely with Tracker SA and the SAPS to ensure those responsible are brought to justice.
Marshall Security continues to urge the community to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity. We remain committed to working closely with law enforcement and partners like Tracker SA to respond swiftly to incidents and ensure the safety of our community.
We commend the quick actions of our Special Operations Team, Tracker SA, and all responders involved in this incident.
