A Helderkruin family was hijacked in their driveway on January 3, 2015. Deon and Annemarie Engelbrecht had just come from the doctor at 20:00 when a red BMW two door coupe parked behind them, blocking the gate from closing.
Two men stepped out of the vehicle with 9mm guns while a third stayed in the car. The two gunmen approached the driver and the passenger window with their guns raised and took Annemarie’s purse and cellphone. The assailants then ordered the two to step out of the vehicle and lie on the floor.
“I just begged them not to shoot my husband because in cases like these, they always shoot the men first. They replied that they will not do anything as they knew my husband was sick. This means they had followed us from the doctor,” said Annemarie.
The assailants then took the car keys and drove off with Audi Q7 in a rush. Deon and Annemarie immediately got up and called for help.
They called the police four times before they got through.
According to the family, the police reacted so slow that they had to ask for help from Dowry security who was parked in a nearby petrol garage…
