The criminals, disguised as police officers, tied them up, stole their belongings, including jewellery and cellphones, and demanded their bank account pins. The couple escaped after the hijackers abandoned them near the N12 Etwatwa off-ramp. They have since reported the kidnapping and attempted hijacking to Sundra SAPS.

The N12 highway has been a concerning area for such crimes, prompting warnings for motorists to remain vigilant while driving in the region.
