It's understood that about 200 people applying for United Kingdom (UK) visas lost their personal documents when a courier truck transporting them was held up by three men, one of whom was wearing a Johannesburg Metro Police Department (JMPD) uniform.
The British High Commission is now trying to assist all the applicants.
Some of them were expected to leave the country next week for either business, pleasure or permanent relocation.
It’s understood the driver of the courier vehicle had no idea what he was transporting and even after his vehicle was recovered, the parcels were missing.
