Two vehicles have been recovered in two separate incidents by the the police’s K9 unit on Wednesday.
Police spokesperson, Captain Sandra Janse van Rensburg, said the three operations by the Gqeberha police resulted in the recovery of two vehicles and the confiscation of a revolver – all successful efforts being accredited to the high visibility campaign during festive season.
In the first incident, a Nissan bakkie was recovered after its owner got hijacked by two gun-wielding assailants on the N2 on Tuesday.
“At about 08:00 a Nissan NP 200 LDV was hijacked as the driver left Blue Horizon Bay en route to Jeffreys Bay,” Janse van Rensburg said.
In another incident on the same day, at about 13:01, a store owner from Zwide arrived at her shop after purchasing stock. She was hijacked at gunpoint by two men touting guns.
Nelson Mandela Bay acting district commissioner, Brigadier Thandiswa Kupiso, said multidisciplinary operations would continue with focus placed on high police visibility and other law enforcement in hotspots during the festive season.
“Businesses and individuals are urged to be extra cautious as robberies and vehicle hijackings tend to inrease during this period,” she said.
