The safety of truck drivers is in question again after robbers managed to hijack a truck on the first day of the 21-day lockdown.
The robbers clothed themselves in ‘Covid-19 gear’ – a clear indication they don’t want to get infected with the dreaded coronavirus. As a bonus, the mask and gloves shielded their faces while fingerprints were safely hidden inside the surgical gloves.
Digital True North said on their Facebook page that the truck was forced off the road on Friday at 15h54 just outside Rustenburg.
They further reported that the driver was found unharmed and the truck was also found abandoned later.
In the pictures, two suspects can be seen wearing face masks, one of them is armed. The suspect were using a silver Mercedes Benz as their getaway car.
It is not known if more suspects were involving in the hijacking.
At the time of publishing they had not responded to more questions about the incident.
