Criminal syndicates are changing the way they hijack victims in South Africa, says Duma Ngcobo, the chief operating officer for Tracker South Africa.Ngcobo said that as vehicle technology has improved, with many cars now having a ‘push to start’ button, criminals have had to adapt.
“One of the things that has happened, unfortunately – and 2020 was a real game changer – was that the probability that people are ordering stuff to be delivered to their homes has increased significantly.” Hijackers take advantage of their victims when they are most relaxed, Ngcobo said, urging South Africans always to be alert and aware of their surroundings.
