TWO HIJACKED TRUCKS RECOVERED IN
BELFAST
Belfast -on 23 June 2015, a
truck was recovered by police at Belfast Central Business District (CBD) area
while executing routine patrols.
The discovery of the truck came
after police noticed it next to a supermarket where it had been standing for
some time and raised suspicions. The suspicions then prompted the police to
enquire further about the truck and as a result it was revealed that the truck
was hijacked at Witbank.
In another similar incident, a coal
truck was also recovered near Glisa (Exxaro) Mine in Belfast after it was
abandoned by the suspects.
Information at police disposal reveals
that the suspects were disturbed by security guards who were patrolling around
the mine from completing their mission. They then jumped out of the truck and
fled the scene on foot. The security guards then summoned the police who then
immediately instituted a preliminary investigation. During the investigation,
they uncovered that the driver was held at gunpoint by three men who forced him
to drive all the way from Matla Power Station near Kriel to Glisa (Exxaro)
Mine.
In both the incidents, no one has been
arrested and the trucks estimated to the value of R3 million were towed to the
police station. Police urge any person with information to contact Crime Stop
at 08600 1011 or send a sms to crime line number 32211.
