Police in Limpopo have launched a manhunt for suspects who were seen shoving a woman into their car and driving off with her.
The neighbours of Refiloe Malope say they were alerted by her screams as she was kidnapped on Monday last week at Kgaphamadi village outside Groblersdal.
31-year-old Malope was allegedly forced into the boot of a white Toyota sedan by two men who sped off in the direction of Motsephiri at about 10am.
According to police, the victim had allegedly been approached by one of the suspects on the pretext that he needed help as his vehicle had broken down.
Police spokesperson Brigadier Motlafela Mojapelo said when the two arrived at the car, the second suspect suddenly emerged and the two forcibly put Malope into the boot.
“The neighbours were alerted by the frantic screaming of the victim. The police were called and a search operation for the victim and the hunt for the suspects were immediately launched,” Mojapelo said.
The motive behind this incident is unknown.
The police are appealing to anyone with information to contact Detective Sergeant Amos Thekupi on 082 775 5462 or toll-free 08600 10111 or use the MySAPSApp.
