Police in Gauteng have arrested a group of men who allegedly targeted the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer community.

The gang targeted people who make use of dating apps, luring them to secluded places to kidnap and rob them of their belongings.
The arrests come after a 26-year-old man, who had been chatting to one of the suspects, was lured to an area where he was hijacked, kidnapped and robbed off his personal belongings.
