“There is a noticeable increase in vehicles being targeted for their loads, particularly fast-moving consumable goods,” says Duma Ngcobo, COO at Tracker SA. Criminals also impersonate police officials to commit hijackings in so-called “blue light” robberies, and another method used is online selling platforms, where sellers hand over goods on receipt of a fake payment.
KwaZulu-Natal has moved from 16% to 19% in the past three years and the Western Cape from 6% to 9%. The Western Cape has the highest incidence of hijacking compared to theft with a 78%-22% split.
