Tweet

The Mercury Newspaper has reported that the number of hijackings has increased up to 35% in the last two years in KwaZulu Natal. Hijacking hotspots included Umlazi, Chatsworth, Bluff, Phoenix, Berea, Umbilo, Greenwood Park, Amanzimtoti, Pinetown, Empangeni and KwaDukuza. Motorists are urged to exercise caution when driving in these areas and be on the look out for any suspicious individuals or vehicles. Motorists are also urged to report any suspicious individuals or cars to the nearest Police station.

Managing Director, Craig Taylor, of BidTrack vehicle tracking and recovery has said that company statistics reveal a 21% increase in hijackings in KwaZulu Natal in 2012.

Taylor also alluded to the fact that hijackers often followed victims to their homes or patrolled residential areas for ‘ordered vehicles’. Tracker spokesman Gareth Crocker has said that 60%-70% of all hijackings occurred in business or domestic driveways. Truck hijacking had also become a common occurrence, with the Hyundai H100 being high on the hijacking ‘wanted’ list.
