South Africa: Man Arrested for False Hijacking Case

press release

Police have noted with great concern that there are still too many people who report false cases at our police stations. Our police resources are wasted when police respond and investigate these false cases. This has resulted in investigating officers adopting a firm stance against this type of behaviour.

Recently Wiseman Nxumalo (32) reported a hijacking to police where he alleged that he was hijacked of his Toyota Tazz vehicle along Umhlanga Rocks Drive earlier this month. He alleged that he was approached by three armed men who robbed him of his vehicle. A case of hijacking was opened at the Durban North police station. Detectives began their investigation in earnest and the victim was questioned thoroughly with regards to the incident.
