The index also records the suburbs most affected in Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal and the Western Cape — the provinces that encounter the most vehicle crime — and the techniques that criminals employ. The suburbs in Gauteng most affected by hijacking are Kensington, Arcadia and Eldorado Park, while the Pretoria CBD, Arcadia and Sunnyside have the most activations for theft.

When it comes to business crime, most vehicles are stolen to obtain the fast-moving consumables that they carry. However, there are instances where the vehicle itself is sought. “Many people go about their regular driving activity on autopilot without much awareness or consideration for what is going on around them. Criminals recognise and take advantage of this complacency,” says Ron Knott-Craig, executive operational services at Tracker SA.
