Two men and a teenage girl are behind bars in connection with the hijacking and robbery of a 65-year-old woman.
The victim was travelling on the road between Nooitgedacht and Mooifontein, near Mahikeng in the North West, in her Toyota Yaris at 10am on Monday. The suspects, travelling in a white vehicle, blocked the road and forced her to stop.
They pointed a firearm at her and threatened her with a knife, forcing her to get into their vehicle. She was driven to Itsoseng and Mahikeng, where she was forcefully taken to ATMs and coerced into withdrawing money from her bank account.
