CAPE TOWN, Western Cape - The city's mayoral committee member for safety and security, JP Smit, warned drivers to be alert when driving in misty weather after road users in the Western Cape fell prey to a robbery strategy.
Several traffic officers were on their way home, travelling on the N2 in the direction of Somerset West when they noticed a Toyota Tazz near the R300 off-ramp with its hazard lights on. Officers spotted three men running towards the vehicle and, as they stopped to investigate, they heard screams coming from the vehicle.
The officers gave chase but the men disappeared between nearby structures, reports Smit.
