Two men have been apprehended after Orlando Pirates winger Vincent Pule was hijacked and kidnapped.
The two suspects reportedly stole Pule’s BMW and other items during the hijacking in the south of Johannesburg.
Johannesburg metro police spokesperson Xolani Fihla says the two men were arrested at a house in Riverlea on Friday.
“The sought vehicle, one live AK-47 round, one tracking device and four sets of registration plates were recovered. Upon recovery, the vehicle’s registration plates and licence disc were changed and it was fitted with false registration plates and licence disc.
“Officers verified the vehicle using its Vin and engine number and it was positively identified as the same vehicle which was hijacked from Vincent Pule as per the Moffatview SAPS case.”
The suspects are linked to several hijackings in the city and will appear in court soon.
