Attempted hijacking goes wrong

A few men failed in their attempt to hijack a vehicle in Johannesburg. The Land Rover can be seen driving and turning into their complex. Seconds later, a silver Volkswagen pulls up and tries to enter the same gate. The maroon Land Rover, however, does not waste time and smashes the gate to drive to safety.

The attempted hijacking by the apparent ‘Rolex Gang’ happened in Morningside in Johannesburg by four armed attackers.

Motorist shot dead in car in Morningside

A 29-year-old man was shot dead in Morningside, northern Johannesburg, on Wednesday evening.

Police spokesperson Brigadier Mathapelo Peters said on Thursday the man was shot in his car on First Street in Morningside after leaving Sandton City.

“Police only arrived at the scene after the shooting. If there is video footage we will analyse it to see what happened.”

Peters could not confirm allegations that the man was shot dead by members of the notorious Rolex gang.

“It is premature to confirm as suspects are unknown at this stage,” she said. Police are appealing to anyone who may have witnessed the shooting, or anything prior to or just after the shooting, to contact Sandton Police or their nearest police station; or to call the SAPS Crime Stop number 08600 10111.
