Watch: Woman ‘locked in car boot’ by hijackers in Centurion

Disturbing footage has emerged online of a group of hijackers mercilessly beating a woman and shoving her into the boot of a car they wanted to steal. The attempted abduction in Centurion, Gauteng was captured on CCTV – and the stomach-churning video has gone viral since it was uploaded on Wednesday evening.

The incident occurred in the early hours of Wednesday 12 May. Hijackers park behind the woman and approach her vehicle. She is then dragged to the back of the car, kicking and screaming. The men force her into the boot, but she continues to fight back against them for over two minutes.

A hammer was used to strike the victim, and after bravely resisting the brute force of her captors, she was eventually overpowered by the thugs. However, this harrowing exchange will only go down an ATTEMPTED kidnapping… the criminal gang were unable to finish the job, after a security team spooked them into running away.

More details of Centurion hijacking emerge

A police investigation has been opened, and this CCTV footage is likely to aid the probe immensely. The victim was followed from a petrol station shortly after midnight. She can be seen bringing the vehicle to a halt in the Stoneridge Estate, before the peace in this Centurion suburb gets violently shattered. At least three suspects are wanted in connection with the attack.

For the victim, her road to recovery lies ahead – in terms of both physical and mental well-being. This was a traumatic experience, and one that has become too common in SA.
