Cape Town – A man died of gunshot wounds after allegedly trying to kidnap the driver of a Porsche Cayenne near the Voortrekker Monument in Pretoria tonight.
” A man believed to be in his early 30s was killed in a shooting incident on Old Johannesburg Road, near the Voortrekker Monument in Pretoria, tonight. The man is believed to have been trying to kidnap the driver of a Porsche Cayenne when he was shot, “ER24 said in a statement.
The ER24 paramedics had arrived at the scene around 6.38 pm, along with the SAPS and various private security services.
The man in question was found lying on the road in a very critical condition, having suffered gunshot wounds. His condition rapidly deteriorated and he sadly died. The paramedics declared him dead at the scene, ”said ER24.
“The exact details surrounding this incident are unknown to ER24, but SAPS was on the scene for investigations.”
In February of last year, a woman in a white Porsche survived after she was robbed and shot in New Road, Midrand, on a Sunday afternoon.
The woman’s window was reportedly smashed with a hammer and valuables stolen from her at around 4 p.m.
One of the thieves “had fired a bullet at the vehicle, fortunately he did not find the lady,” police said at the time. The woman was taken to the hospital in stable condition.
In May 2017, a would-be kidnapper was outwitted by a quick-thinking Porsche driver, who managed to escape unscathed.
CCTV footage captured a driver driving home in his Porsche, in Houghton, Johannesburg, when a car suddenly reversed to block the driver from his driveway.
The hijacker then ran toward the Porsche, holding his gun in front of him. The Porsche driver backed up in an instant, crashing into the rear of the would-be hijacker’s car and swerving to escape.
In the confusion, the potential hijacker’s getaway driver closes the door and begins to drive away, as the nervous gunman runs back to the car.
