Property hijacking kingpin and 2 accomplices arrested
30 December 2017
Today, I was informed of the arrest of Joburg’s most wanted property hijacker and his 2 co-accused, who are implicated in 8 cases of property hijacking in Johannesburg.
The 3 will appear in the Johannesburg Magistrate’s Court on Thursday, 04 January 2018.
It is alleged that this kingpin approached unsuspecting tenants residing in properties around Joburg and introduced himself as an investigator. He would then state that the true owners of the properties were hijackers and that the tenants should not cooperate with them.
Further, he would instruct the tenants not to pay any rent to the owners but to him instead.
