Four male suspects, aged 19 to 23 years, were arrested on Monday in the Mothibistad area in the Northern Cape after the carjacking of a Toyota Quantum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to reports, the complainant was driving the Quantum and at approximately 02:00 on Monday 9 March at the traffic lights in Mothibistad, he was accosted by four armed suspects who were allegedly wielding knives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The victim managed to escape unharmed and immediately sought assistance at the South African Police Service <\/a>(SAPS) in Mothibistad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Colonel Cherelle Ehlers, police spokesperson, said police members acted swiftly and with the assistance of the Highway Patrol and a vehicle tracking company, the suspects were pursued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the pursuit, the suspects lost control of the stolen vehicle at Logaganeng, where it overturned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All four suspects were arrested at the scene. They sustained minor injuries and received medical treatment before being detained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The investigation continues and the suspects are expected to appear in court soon on charges of carjacking and robbery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The acting district commissioner, Brigadier Kenneth Baloyi, commended the swift and coordinated response of SAPS members and their partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Safety tips<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It is against this backdrop that police urge motorists to remain vigilant. The following safety tips are recommended:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Carjackings often occur when vehicles are stationary at traffic lights or stop signs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Maintain a safe following distance and remain alert to your surroundings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Avoid distractions such as using your mobile phone whilst driving, especially at night or in isolated areas.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Ensure that vehicle doors are locked and windows are closed whilst driving or when stationary.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Trust your instincts and avoid stopping in poorly lit or deserted areas if you feel unsafe.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Do not resist if confronted by suspects. Prioritise your safety and cooperate where necessary.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Report suspicious activity to SAPS.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Consider installing a vehicle tracking device to assist with recovery operations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Members of the public are urged to report car hijackings or any other criminal activities to the SAPS Crime Stop number on 08600 10111 or by using the MySAPS App. All information will be treated with the strictest confidentiality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has a long-standing history of serving the community with news and information pertinent to the region. The newspaper, distributed in the capital and more than 20 towns, is also read online in other parts of the vast province, and has been an important source of information for residents of the Northern Cape. The publication is geared towards Afrikaans and English-speaking readers, with the content reflecting the cultural diversity of the province. Like the other regional newspapers in South Africa, NoordkaapBulletin has had to adapt to changing media landscapes, including the rise of digital news platforms. However, it remains a significant part of the media landscape in the Northern Cape, helping to keep communities informed and connected.","email":"noordkaapbulletin@novusmedia.co.za","telephone":"+27514047600","legalName":"Novus Media (Pty) Ltd","foundingDate":"2025-01-01","vatID":"4100318916","taxID":"2000\/018234\/07","numberOfEmployees":{"@type":"QuantitativeValue","minValue":"51","maxValue":"200"}},{"@type":"Person","@id":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/#\/schema\/person\/a50765c21ef3c45c021aae194bd0c185","name":"Helena Barnard","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-ZA","@id":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/ceac52f88b782072cec675588f5c870c7db001781097c0616b3b2dc868b88ccc?s=96&d=mm&r=g","url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/ceac52f88b782072cec675588f5c870c7db001781097c0616b3b2dc868b88ccc?s=96&d=mm&r=g","contentUrl":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/ceac52f88b782072cec675588f5c870c7db001781097c0616b3b2dc868b88ccc?s=96&d=mm&r=g","caption":"Helena Barnard"},"url":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/author\/helena-barnard\/"}]}},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/1ce0dee4-93d9-43e3-a6ea-0cc255c08940.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":297253,"url":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/armed-robbery-suspects-arrested-at-major-inter-provincial-roadblock\/","url_meta":{"origin":297617,"position":0},"title":"Armed robbery suspects arrested at major inter-provincial roadblock","author":"Helena Barnard","date":"27 February 2026","format":false,"excerpt":"Two suspects were arrested during a roadblock for possessing stolen mobile phones and a toy gun, linked to recent robberies.","rel":"","context":"In "Community"","block_context":{"text":"Community","link":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/community\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"Arrest at roadblock","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/d9e16a92-3f35-48a7-b5b6-11fab0619393-1.jpg?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/d9e16a92-3f35-48a7-b5b6-11fab0619393-1.jpg?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/d9e16a92-3f35-48a7-b5b6-11fab0619393-1.jpg?resize=525%2C300&ssl=1 1.5x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/d9e16a92-3f35-48a7-b5b6-11fab0619393-1.jpg?resize=700%2C400&ssl=1 2x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/d9e16a92-3f35-48a7-b5b6-11fab0619393-1.jpg?resize=1050%2C600&ssl=1 3x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/d9e16a92-3f35-48a7-b5b6-11fab0619393-1.jpg?resize=1400%2C800&ssl=1 4x"},"classes":[]},{"id":295815,"url":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/police-warn-motorists-of-fake-roadworks-scam-targeting-night-travellers\/","url_meta":{"origin":297617,"position":1},"title":"Police warn motorists of fake roadworks scam targeting night travellers","author":"Helena Barnard","date":"10 January 2026","format":false,"excerpt":"Motorists warn of fake roadwork signs on the N14.
