“What a Mess”: Police Show Up Moments After Ladies Hijacked, Let Suspects Get Away

• Two hijackers stole a woman's car and fled a few seconds after a police vehicle arrived to drop off a passenger
• However, the crime did not appear to be important to the police officer or the woman to whom he gave a lift
• Social media users wondered if the video was a skit, while others thought it was just another day in Mzansi

People on the internet were confused after they watched a video of a hijacking that police did not seem to take seriously.

X user @mabasotf took to the social media platform to share CCTV footage showing two men walking up to a red car parked outside someone's house in a residential area. While one woman stood centimetres away from the vehicle, the thieves made their way inside, forcing another lady to get out.

As the highjackers drove away, a police car entered the frame. The government worker, seemingly dropping off a woman at home, did not seem to care about the crime when the two women informed them of what happened. And, neither did the passenger when she reached her house.

One of the victims was so distraught that she fell to the ground, grabbing the attention of other neighbours.

"Everyone in this video is stressing me out," said the X user.

Too good to be true?

The viral video had many social media users questioning its validity, while some shared that this was a common occurrence in South Africa.

@I_am_Bucie shared their thoughts with the public and wrote:

"Is it just me, or is everyone moving super slow? The police don’t have that 'always ready' mentality."
