DURBAN – On 03 October 2022, a 30-year-old man reported to Montclair police that he was hijacked of his vehicle by three unknown men whilst he was on South Coast Road, Rossburgh.

He further stated that he was forced into the vehicle and was driven around for two hours before he was dropped off at a mall. Charges of carjacking and kidnapping were opened for investigation. The vehicle was later found abandoned in Dove Crescent, Montclair.

After an intensive investigation, police discovered that the complainant was never at the shop where he alleged that he was hijacked and his vehicle was used in a business robbery at Brighton Beach. The suspect was arrested and will appear in the Durban Magistrate’s Court on Monday.

Detectives are still investigating whether the suspect was involved in the Brighton Beach business robbery case.
