Members of the police's highway patrol arrested a car-jacking suspect about 35 minutes after he hijacked a VW Polo from its owner in Kwanobuhle.
Police spokesperson, warrant officer Gerda Swart, says the 28-year-old suspect allegedly entered a house in Pongolo Street just after 7 on Tuesday night and ordered the owner to hand over the keys to his vehicle.
He then drove off and the complainant contacted the police.
Swart says at around 7.35 members of the Highway Patrol pulled the vehicle over and arrested a 28-year-old man.
She says they also seized a 9mm pistol and ammunition during the arrest.
