A truck driver and his crew were allegedly held at gunpoint and forced into the back of their vehicle while delivering tiles in Mbumbulu, south of Durban.
According to information received by Kurrently, the truck had travelled from eThekwini to Mbumbulu on Wednesday to deliver a load of tiles.
The driver and his workers were reportedly busy offloading the tiles when armed men allegedly arrived and pointed firearms at them.
The suspects allegedly ordered the driver and workers into the back of the truck before driving them to an unknown location.
The men were allegedly forced to remain inside while the suspects stripped the truck of its tracker and drove away with the vehicle.
Later that night, the victims were reportedly dropped off in Umlazi.
According to the account, the suspects allegedly told them not to worry about the truck, claiming that the vehicle would be paid for by insurance.
RUSA was reportedly called after the victims were abandoned in Umlazi and assisted in searching for the stolen truck, but it could not be located.
The circumstances surrounding the alleged hijacking, including the value of the truck and its cargo, have not yet been established.
The victims were left shaken after spending hours in the hands of the armed suspects.
