Gauteng police spokesperson Mavela Masondo says preliminary investigations reveal that a white Toyota Quantum and a black VW blocked the roads, where after the trucks caught fire after petrol bombs were thrown at them.
The motive for the torchings is not yet known and police are investigating a case of malicious damage to property.
