14/01/2026
The responder received a call requesting assistance with the message, “We require assistance.” The responder activated SAPS via the Namola platform and proceeded to the scene at Brits Lapa, Vastfontein North, Pretoria. Upon arrival, it was established that a bakkie had left the roadway and came to a stop on the right-hand side near Brits Lapa. Three male suspects and one female suspect fled the scene on foot. Members of the local community immediately intervened, and shortly thereafter all four suspects were apprehended. The suspects were handed over to SAPS. During questioning, it was revealed that the vehicle had been hijacked at the Rooiwal turn-off. According to the owner, he had stopped at a prostitute when three male suspects overpowered him, tied his hands and feet, assaulted him by striking him on the head with an object, and left him in long grass. Responders accompanied SAPS to the location indicated by the suspects, where the victim was located. The owner was subsequently transported to hospital for medical treatment of his injuries. Further questioning revealed that all four suspects admitted to working together as a group involved in robbery and theft. NCA extends its sincere appreciation to the Vastfontein community for their assistance in apprehending the suspects. Role players on the scene included the Vastfontein community, NCA, and Hammanskraal SAPS.
NCA extends its appreciation to all role players for their prompt response and cooperation.
