At 06:45 a Matrix Recovery Service agent received a phone call from a client who was calling to report that his driver has been hijacked in Walkerville 15 minutes earlier. The client said that the driver had gone outside to investigate a noise, when a man put a gun to his head and requested the keys to his Volkswagen Caddy.
Matrix Recovery Service was requested to dispatch ground and air at 06:47, while a lookout was placed within the SAPS. The VW Caddy at that point in time was positioning in Ennerdale and remained in the same area for the remainder of the recovery. The vehicle was recovered at 07:15 in Ennerdale by Matrix Recovery Service team who then ensured that it was handed over to a member of the SAPS.
