A four-month-old baby that was taken during a hijacking in Khayelitsha over the weekend has been reunited with her family. The infant had been travelling in his uncle’s bakkie at the time of the incident on Saturday afternoon.
“According to reports, the complainant was at his uncle
place to deliver chicken with his white Isuzu LDV. While they were busy with
the chickens in the back of the LDV, five unknown males came to them and
pointed the complainant with a firearm. The suspects then took the cellular
telephones of the complainant and his uncle and then got inside the LDV and
drove away,’’ said Captain F.C van Wyk.
‘’Inside the LDV was the four-month old baby of the
complainant. The complainant then tried to get a brick to break the window of
the LDV in order for the suspects to stop but they kept on going. The
complainant then immediately reported the incident at the police,’’ he added.
Van Wyk said the child was found abandoned in Makhaza near
the Golden Arrow stands and was returned to his mother. The baby was taken to a
medical facility for treatment. Police said the vehicle was recovered and that
no arrests has been made as yet.
SAPS are probing cases of carjacking and kidnapping.
Anyone with information regarding the incident is requested
to call Crime Stop on 10111.
