The stop is also being used by hitchhikers and prostitutes and the favourite among hijackers are Ford Ranger bakkies.
Sgt Matselane Nhlapo from Kinross Police Station said motorists should be careful of hitchhikers, because some are hiking with a motive of hijacking a car.
She further said motorists should also be aware of prostitutes, because motorists who stop to talk with the prostitutes often become victims of hijackings.
“Should motorists notice any suspicious car following them, they should not stop but report it to the police or drive to the nearest police station,” said Sgt Nhlapo.
