COPS have recovery of a hijacked truck and arrested three men in Vereeniging.
They also recovered boxes of Jack Daniels Whiskey to the value of about R3 million that were in the hijacked truck.
“It is alleged that the driver of the truck was stopped by a VW Golf GTI and BMW that were fitted with blue lights.
Then six suspects confronted the driver and took him to one of the suspects' car before he was dropped off few kilometres away,” Captain Mavela Masondo said.
The Sedibeng Tracing Team recovered the truck in the yard of
one of the houses in Vereeniging where three suspects were arrested.
Masondo said preliminary investigation led to the recovery of the boxes of Jack Daniels Whiskey that were already loaded in another truck.
Police have launched a manhunt for the suspects that are still at large and the cargo that is still missing.
The arrested suspects will appear at Johannesburg and Vereeniging Magistrate's Courts facing charges of hijacking and possession of hijacked truck.
