GAUTENG The Westrand Trio Task Team is looking for a man whom they believe might assist with investigation on an incident where a 28yearold Uber driver was allegedly robbed and hijacked by two unknown males.

The incident occurred on Monday, 06 January 2020 at approximately 20:20, at Flower road near R28 Bekkersdal. The Uber taxi driver allegedly received a request from his app to pick up two males from Baragwanath in Soweto to Randfontein. While driving, the suspects instructed the victim to turn at R559 and then Flower Road. He was threatened with a firearm and instructed to stop. His head was covered and both his hands were tied before he was thrown inside his boot. They drove with him and later dropped him on the open veld. He was assisted by an unknown male and reported the matter to the police.
