Hijacking: Now Brave Uber driver fights back, gang arrested
Police crime intelligence officers swooped on the three suspects who were also wanted for an earlier hijacking in another part of the city.
A quick thinking Uber driver who single handedly fought back against a gang of hijackers had no idea that his brave actions during this weekend’s hijacking would lead to the arrest of wanted suspects.
KZN police spokesperson, Colonel Thembeka Mbele, said that Durban Central police and provincial crime intelligence members were busy with crime prevention duties in the central business district when they were alerted to the hijacking in progress. The hijacking incident occurred at around 8.30pm on Saturday night.
