Recent data published by the South African Police Service (SAPS) shows that a vehicle is hijacked approximately every 25 minutes in South Africa.
Just between January and March 2022, there were 5,402 hijackings, most of which happened in the country’s main metros, according to South Africa’s crime statistics for Q4 2021/2022.
The use of key re-programmers and signal grabbers are still a common tactic used by criminals, and special equipment is used to create a long-range link between your key and the vehicle, said Netstar.
