Swift action by our Special Operations Team Members resulted in the recovery of a hijacked Isuzu Bakkie yesterday afternoon.
At approximately 13h50, members of our Special Ops Team were activated to assist Tracker SA in locating an Isuzu Bakkie which had been hijacked on Kennedy Road in the Clare Hills area by five armed suspects. The victim of the hijacking was stabbed and transported to a nearby hospital for medical attention.
Our team members responded promptly to the last known location of the hijacked vehicle, and within minutes, they were able to recover the vehicle. The abandoned vehicle was found on a dirt road along the railway line in the Sea Cow Lake area and recovered by our team members, the Tracker SA ground team, the Greenwood Park SAPS, and other private security companies.
Further investigation revealed that all the power tools, including a generator that was left in the back of the vehicle, were missing and could not be found. It is believed that the hijackers took the power tools into a nearby informal settlement.
The hijacked vehicle has been transported to the Greenwood Park SAPS for further investigation and processing.
We are pleased to report that the injured victim is in a stable condition and receiving the necessary medical care.
We commend our Special Ops Team, Tracker SA, the Greenwood Park SAPS, and other private security companies for their swift action and cooperation, which led to the successful recovery of the hijacked vehicle.
