A man who claimed to have been hijacked and kidnapped was found safe in another vehicle driven — and later crashed — by his abductors in Lenasia South on Wednesday. Capt Mavela Masondo said a white MercedesBenz carrying the victim was spotted by the Soweto Flying Squad driving on the wrong side of the Golden Highway. “Members followed the vehicle‚ which at that time was driving recklessly and eventually crashed near the Civic Centre in Lenasia South‚” said Masondo. “Police arrested one armed suspect‚ while the second suspect fled. “Police found a man [inside the vehicle]‚ who reported that he had earlier been hijacked by the same suspects at his place of residence in Ridgeway. The man’s car was later recovered in Eldorado Park. –
