POLICE management in the Dr Kenneth Kaunda District would like to urge motorists to be cautious of car hijackings committed by unknown suspects who pretend to be either police or traffic officers.
The warning stems from a case that was recently reported in the policing precinct of Potchefstroom, said police spokeswoman Colonel Adele Myburgh.
While motorists are encouraged to respect the rule of law, they are urged to exercise caution and put on their hazard lights when stopped by any suspicious police/traffic officers and to drive to the nearest police station or a public place like a fuel station.
In case of a hijacking in progress and you are confronted directly by the suspects, remain calm and do as you are told. Show them you’re not a threat by holding up your hands.
