Amadoda amane abanjwe ne-Quantum ebiwe eMonti”

Amadoda amane abanjwe kulandela ubusela (hijacking) be-Toyota Quantum eSouthernwood, eMonti, kwiintsasa zangolwesine.

Kuxhelwe ukuba isithuthi siphunyezwe phantsi kwentsongelo yompu kufuphi nebhulorho yaseSouthernwood malunga nentsimbi yesihlanu (5:00 a.m.). Ngokutsho koMlawuli wezoKhuseleko kuMasipala waseMbhashe, uMnu Lubabalo Mbelani, amapolisa ezithuthi kunye nabagcini-mthetho baye balunyukiswa ngumnini wesithuthi kamsinya emva kwesi siganeko.

I-Quantum ebiwelwe iye yabonwa kwiirobhothi zaseDutywa. Xa amapolisa azama ukunqanda eso sithuthi, umqhubi kutyholwa ukuba uye wasaba, nto leyo edale ugxotho olufutshane. Abarhanelwa baye basishiya eso sithuthi ekugqibeleni baza basaba ngeenyawo besiya kwilokishi iGovan Mbeki.

Baye babanjwa emva koko kufuphi neziko lezempilo iDutywa Healthcare Centre ngamagosa ezithuthi aseMbhashe kunye nabasebenzi bezokhuseleko balapha.

Abasemagunyeni baphinde banxulumanisa i-Toyota Starlet ebomvu (maroon) nesi siganeko, kurhanelwa ukuba ibikhapha le Quantum ibiweyo. Ekubanjweni kwabo, aba barhanelwa bane — abaphakathi kweminyaka engama-25 nama-37 — kutyholwa ukuba bafunyenwe benompu i-9mm. Kutyholwa kwakhona ukuba iipleyiti zenombolo (registration plates) zesithuthi esibiweyo bezisele zitshintshiwe.

UMnu Mbelani uthe iinkcukacha zokuqala zibonisa ukuba abarhanelwa bebengendlela eya eMsinga, eKwaZulu-Natal, ngexesha lokubanjwa kwabo.

Abarhanelwa okwangoku bavalelwe kwisikhululo samapolisa saseDutywa njengoko uphando lusaqhuba.
