An officer stopped a truck moments before it was hijacked on the N1 North just outside Pretoria – and it was all caught on camera.In the video, an officer on a motorcycle flags down the truck driver and indicates the truck should pull over. Moments after the truck stops, a grey or white Mitsubishi Mirage stops in front of it.One man gets out, and in the right-hand corner, you can see the officer on the motorcycle driving away with flashing lights. The Mitsubishi Mirage reverses backward.
Should an officer refuse to produce their appointment certificate to the motorist who has been stopped, motorists are allowed to speed off and report such conduct to both the police and the authority who appointed them. He adds that, in a separate incident, people who impersonated traffic officers were recently been arrested.
'Members of the public are advised to call us at 0800 22 88 27 to verify the authenticity of traffic officers in the employment of our department. The incident seen on the video will be thoroughly investigated and perpetrators will be brought to book.'There has always been suspicious that corrupt and cops aid and abet criminals.#CrimeWatch pic.twitter.com/rtGfvQaa22
