Car hijacking is a prevalent crime in South Africa, with many incidents reported across the country. According to recent statistics, car hijackings have increased by 13.3% in the past year, with more than 18,000 cases reported. Criminals typically target high-value vehicles, and the hijackings often involve violence and intimidation.
The South African Police Service has urged drivers to take precautions, such as avoiding driving alone, keeping windows and doors locked, and staying vigilant when approaching intersections. Additionally, many car owners have installed security systems, such as trackers and immobilizers, to deter hijackers. However, car hijacking remains a significant concern for many South Africans, and efforts to combat the crime are ongoing.
However, a recent video has gone viral on social media showing a car hijacker who almost lost his life after trying to rob the wrong person. The video shows a clean and planned hijacking that quickly went wrong for the perpetrator. The hijacker was waiting for the right time to execute his plan when the owner of the house returned home. The hijacker took advantage of the opportunity and jumped the fence, which was not that tall.
Upon entering the house, he encountered two dogs who were not pleased to see an uninvited guest. The dogs chased him out of the house, and the hijacker fled for his life. The video has received a lot of attention on social media, with many people applauding the dogs for their bravery and quick thinking. The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of home security and the potential consequences of engaging in criminal activity.
While the video is entertaining, it also highlights the serious nature of car hijacking in South Africa. Many drivers have lost their lives or suffered serious injuries at the hands of hijackers.
