The car that was hijacked
The 37-year-old taxi driver reportedly told Police that he accepted the job to transport the men to the destination but when he arrived at the Plum Park, Sophia location, the men whipped out handguns and dealt him several blows about his body. As they beat him, they reportedly threatened the man that they would shoot if he did not get out of the vehicle.
Mohamed reportedly exited the car, and the men sped off with the vehicle.
A report was subsequently lodged at the Turkeyen Police Station. About four days later, Police located the car, however, the number plate was changed and parts from inside were missing. The car is currently at the Turkeyen Police Station as investigations continue.
