Hijackers take car and hearing aid
Two armed hijackers held up a woman (76), in Germiston on Thursday and fled with her car, cash, cellphones and a hearing aid, police said on Friday.
The woman, who asked not to be named, arrived at her home in Northridge Road, Primrose, about 2.15pm to find two armed men there, said Superintendent Andy Pieke.
"They threatened her and forced her out of her car when she got back from shopping in Boksburg," he said.
"The men fled in the car and a white sedan driven by accomplices."
Pieke described the woman's car as a white Toyota Corolla, with the registration SKN 188 GP.
"She told police that there was R1000 cash in the car, two cellphones and her hearing aid."
He said the East Rand hijacking task team was investigating but no arrests had been made.
