The Lenasia Community Policing Forum (CPF) has urged residents to be cautious after a spate of hijackings in the township and Johannesburg area.

The CPF says in the past three weeks a number of hijackings having been recorded where motorists were abducted with their vehicles.

It says the victims were only set free by the criminals after being robbed of their valuables and forced to withdraw cash from their bank accounts at ATM’s.

Lenasia CPF’s Khalil Mohammad has urged residents to be cautious when driving especially at night.

“We urge all residents to be alert, vigilant and aware of their surroundings as all times. Hijackings are an opportunistic crime and may occur at any time, place during your daily commute.”
