A motorist from Glen Marais, in Kempton Park, GP, will have their wits to thank for the horrific hijacking attempt they survived.
CCTV captures Kempton Park hijacking attempt
CCTV cameras placed at the driveway of a residential estate on Koppie Road captured the moment this unidentified motorist was targeted by hijackers.
Not much information is available on the story but according to metadata found on the footage, the incident took place in the early hours of Wednesday evening.
In the video clip, the driver of a white Audi A4 was seen pulling into a driveway of the residential estate, unaware that they were being tailed by a white BMW. The unassuming vehicle parks behind the Audi, as the motorist waited for the automatic gates to open.
Suddenly, two armed men were seen jumping out of the BMW, with every intention to accost the Audi A4 driver. However, much to their disappointment, the motorist had spotted them and before they could move a step closer, the Audi A4 peeled away from the residential estate and out of frame.
The video clip ends as the two armed carjackers got into their vehicle to follow the victim.
At this stage, it’s unknown if the motorist informed authorities of the ordeal they encountered.
Here is the full video clip of the hijacking attempt.
