Beware of this horrific new hijacking method
A warning about a cruel new hijacking method is doing the rounds on social media, please keep your windows closed!
Hijackers are now using pool acid to blind, daze and disorientate the driver!
The pool acid is apparently kept in a syringe or a small plastic container. With the driver blind, it helps the hijackers get away from the scene faster.
The warning is backed up by a report of a Discovery Health employee who was allegedly involved in an attempted hijacking in Rivonia. According to the report the victim’s vehicle was approached by a “young, perfectly nice-looking white guy who convinced him to roll down his window”. The would-be hijacker demanded his vehicle and then threw pool acid in his face. The man’s face was allegedly burned extensively and the “membranes have been burned off his eyes”. Roodepoort Record reports.
