Six armed suspects hijacked a motorist and stole his white Isuzu D-Max during an incident on Newcentre Drive in Newlands West, KwaZulu-Natal, on Thursday morning, 12 November 2026.

The driver reportedly escaped unharmed after being confronted by the suspects, who allegedly arrived at the scene in a white Hyundai Grand i10 before forcing him out of his vehicle and fleeing with the bakkie.

According to the incident report, the KZN VIP Control Centre received information about the hijacking at approximately 05:44. Response officers were immediately dispatched following the report.

A subsequent vehicle-tracking update led KZN VIP officers and a vehicle-tracking agent to KwaMashu’s K Section, where they conducted searches in an effort to locate the stolen vehicle.

However, the Isuzu D-Max had not been recovered at the time of the latest update.

The South African Police Service (SAPS) was notified of the incident.

The stolen vehicle is described as a white Isuzu D-Max with registration number CG 48 YY ZN. It also has a distinctive blue sticker bearing the word “Lovemore”, which could assist members of the public in identifying it.

Members of the public who spot the vehicle are urged to report its location and direction of travel to the relevant authorities.

Anyone with information or footage that could assist in locating the stolen bakkie is also encouraged to share it with the relevant response team.

Motorists and members of the public have been warned not to approach or attempt to follow the vehicle should they spot it.
