An ambulance belonging to the City of Tshwane municipality was hijacked in Pretoria West, Gauteng police said.
Two ambulance assistants were hijacked at gunpoint by two unidentified men at the corner of DF Malan Road and Soutter Street on Tuesday night, said police spokeswoman Warrant Officer Wanda Olivier.
"They were forced out of a white Toyota Quantum at gunpoint and the hijackers drove off with the vehicle," she said.
Olivier said nobody was injured during the hijacking and the assistants immediately reported the case.
"We are investigating a case of hijacking and ask the community to help with information," said Olivier.
The ambulance was branded "Integrated community development" on both front doors.
Information on its whereabouts can be sent to sms 32211, or contact Sergeant Janie Swart on 079-895-0667.

What I can suggest now is that ambulances should be ambulances by every standard, the government should go to places like London and copy or buy that type of a green and yellow ambulance, buying these quantum is waste of money. ANC and its councillors must do the real thing for the people, why do they take short cuts? The real ambulance with its colourfulness can never be hijacked to be a taxi tomorrow. Hijacking ambulance is SICK. The government can afford if Zuma still pledge billions and helping other countries it means he can afford to buy these ambulances. Department of health should be put into pressure to buy these ambulances, why do'nt they serve the nation with honesty. Can you imgine if those two guys were killed we would be counting statistics and the heads of dept. would not care. People must open their eyes and use their brains when they vote. ANC need fire.Report Abuse
