Hijacking goes horribly wrong as perpetrators take baby

Meanwhile, Briefly News previously reported that a seven-month-old baby was found in his car seat near a spaza shop after his mother's car was hijacked. Alicia Lamprecht stated that she was happy that she could hold her son in her arms again.

The hijacking occurred on Monday, 13 September, in the morning in Cape Town. Lamprecht's car was forcefully taken in Observatory and located in Mowbray. Her son, however, was not found with the vehicle.

SAPS followed numerous leads until they located the baby in Maitland. A woman had allegedly heard him crying as he was strapped in his car seat.
