The Community Crime Prevention Organisation in Amanzimtoti confirmed the incident to Soweto Live, saying;
“Armed suspects attempted to hijack a Toyota Fortuna. Shots were fired, and one person was injured. The suspects crashed the Fortuna and fled.”
In the video footage that is trending on social media, the armed robbers who came with their own vehicle can be seen hijacking occupants of a Toyota Fortuner.
The hijackers pull the driver out of the vehicle and search for valuables while they force the two other passengers out of the vehicle at gunpoint.
The hijackers attempt to drive the car out of the driveway, but before they can get away, shots are fired from a nearby property, believed to be a bar.
The Toyota Fortuner crashes into something that looks like an embankment.
One of the hijackers jumps out of the vehicle and runs to the getaway car while his accomplice, who was driving, crawls out of the vehicle.
The hijacker can be seen getting shot at as he crawls towards the getaway car.
