Chatsworth motorist hijacked while filling up petrol in Mobeni

Hijackers held up a Chatsworth motorist while he was filling up petrol at a garage in Mobeni on Saturday.
Blue Security community and media liaison officer Andreas Mathios said two hijackers held up the motorist while he was busy refueling at around 4pm. “Fortunately, the motorist was not injured during the incident but the hijackers managed to get away with his vehicle.”
The SAPS attended the scene of the crime.
In a separate incident in Jacobs, a quick acting armed response officer arrested an alleged thief as he attempted to flee with a 200l drum he had taken from a business premises in Dudley Street.
“The officer arrived at the scene and spoke to two men at a nearby property who pointed him in the direction of the suspect. The officer managed to nab the suspect as he jumped out of the premises,” Mathios said.
The suspect was handed over to the Brighton Beach SAPS at the scene of the crime.
