An unidentified woman is missing following a hijacking that occured at the Canelands intersection in Verulam, South Africa.
Members of Reaction Unit were called out to Old Main Road near the
Canelands Library after members of the public found a semi conscious man
lying on the roadside bleeding from an injury to his head.
Upon arrival the victim explained while stationary at the
intersection he offered a lift to a female who was standing on the
roadside. Shortly after she got into his Toyota Corolla the drivers side
window was smashed in and the driver was assaulted by two suspects. One
suspect was allegedly armed with a firearm.
The male victim was then forced into the boot of his vehicle and
driven to an isolated spot in a sugar cane plantation in the vicinity of
the Canelands Library. The suspects then forced him out of the boot and
robbed him of his valuables before fleeing. The injured man walked to
an informal settlement where he was assisted by residents.
Reaction Officers conducted an extensive search of the cane fields
and recovered the Toyota Corolla abandoned. A woman’s sandal was found
in the vehicle while a second matching blood stained sandal was found a
few metres away from the vehicle. A blood soaked bandage was found on
the passenger seat.
The driver was transported to hospital for medical attention. The
woman’s identity is unknown at this stage and it cannot be confirmed if
she was an accessory to the hijacking.
Police are investigating further.
