Mitchell's Plain cops are on the hunt for hijackers who stole a woman’s car and used it to drive a couple on their wedding day.

Cape Town - Mitchell's Plain cops are on the hunt for hijackers who stole a woman’s car and used it to drive a couple on their wedding day. According to a police source, the bride and groom got a fright when cops approached them on their big day on Thursday, informing them the man they had hired to drive them had stolen the posh Renault Duster SUV earlier that day.“Two coloured men in a red car approached her and demanded she hand over the car keys.

The source says the hijacking was reported to Mitchell's Plain SAPS and cops issued an alert for the vehicle and found the car later that same day.“The car was empty, but they noticed there were red ribbons on the car like they do for a wedding. “The couple told the police that the car belonged to their driver, whom they had hired for their big day.“The car was taken away, but the keys were not recovered as the driver was gone.”
