🚨 HIJACKED FUNERAL VEHICLE – PLEASE HELP US FIND IT 🚨
A family is appealing to the community for help after their white Hyundai H1 was hijacked in Orange Farm.
According to the family, the victim, who works with funeral parlours, received a call from someone pretending to be a family member in need of funeral services. Believing it was a genuine emergency, he and a colleague responded to the location.
Upon arrival, they were ambushed by armed suspects, who pointed fi****ms at them before hijacking the vehicle. The suspects robbed both men of all their belongings, including their cellphones, took the driver's jacket, and abandoned them in an open field.
Thankfully, both victims survived the ordeal, but they were left traumatised.
The stolen vehicle is the family's main source of income, and they are pleading with anyone who may have seen it or has any information to come forward.
