A 25-year-old woman has reported to police that she was kidnapped by a man who hit her vehicle from behind, before bundling her back into her vehicle when she came out. He then drove off.
She told police she jumped out of the moving vehicle in Carlsen Field to escape when the incident occurred around 7.45 am Friday.
Residents said this seemed to be a recent regular occurrence in the area and are warning motorists not to stop, but instead drive straight to the police station to make a report.
One resident, who wished not to be identified, said people are lurking in the area and are either hurling objects at passing vehicles or causing accidents with their vehicles, hoping for drivers to stop before attacking and robbing them.

Covid19 has changed how people think about shopping, with delivery, online purchasing, and curbside pickup quickly becoming part of the new normal. A slowdown in, and uncertainty, about international shipping costs, times and safety has also influenced shoppers. These are some of the factors which have led to consumers choosing to buy local goods for Christmas.
During the lockdown from the end of March, and in the months since, when public health restrictions were eased, many businesses took the opportunity to allow their customers to buy goods online, whether via bank transfer, online payment, or cash on delivery. In many cases, vendors also upgraded their online shopping experience so that shoppers could see what was available and make better choices.
