Johannesburg - A man has shot and killed his friend’s suspected hijacker after he received an SMS with the details of the hijacking and happened to see his friend's hijacked car near a restaurant.

Police spokesperson Colonel Lungelo Dlamini said a middle-aged man was hijacked and thrown out of his car in Linksfield in northern Johannesburg at about 18:30 on Saturday.

The hijacker drove off in the man's blue Mercedes-Benz and disabled the tracking system in the Kew area.

The hijacker then drove in the direction of the Nando’s restaurant in Corlett Road near Melrose Arch. The hijack victim meanwhile sent out an SMS to friends saying he had been hijacked.

One of his friends who received the SMS, an ex-security guard, happened to be near the Nando’s and saw his friend’s car.

He stopped at the restaurant and approached the driver of the car before shooting him in the chest. The suspected hijacker had a weapon with him.

“He (the friend) was not arrested because he prevented a crime. An inquest docket has been created to investigate the circumstances around his death,” Dlamini said.

The car was returned to its owner.

According to Gilly Levy, head of operations at CAP Security, a second vehicle was involved in the incident. CAP was informed of the hijacking.

The hijack victim, who was too traumatised to talk to reporters, had been thrown in the back of another vehicle and this car and his own vehicle had driven around for about an hour before the hijackers dropped him off unhurt, Levy said.

The other two suspects are still at large.

Good news hey.
 
Shooting the guy was a bit heavy handed, but when the police fail as often as they do citizens will resort to this. Good stuff!
 
I love this.

Imagine how he will retell the story.

" Well you know, i hijacked this car, stopped to get a quarter chicken meal as you do, and this crazy white dude just up and shoots me in the chest! "

Eish, white people, so much of violence!
 
Gun Free SA morons are going to freak out.

But his rights and dignity :rolleyes:

I dont do reading and sh 1 t! Jokes dont know how I missed it.

Sadly, if the cops refuse to do anything then this will become more common. In a perfect world, I dont like citizen justice, but South Africa is hardly perfect and needs a South African approach to justice. Can we execute all rapists, murderers and hijackers so we can get on with our lives? Oh and corrupt policemen.
 
and politicians.

DONT forget the politicians.

That just made my effin' day so much brighter
 
Technically the friend didn't prevent a crime from happening, he aborted it while it was in progress - but kudos to him for doing what was necessary. We need more concerned citizens who are concerned about the rights of taxpayers, not about ending the lives of criminal scum.
