Police officers hijacked in Durban
Two Durban police officers who stopped to help what they thought was a couple in distress have instead found themselves at the centre of an early morning hijack drama.
They were hailed down by a couple during the early hours of this morning.
But the couple then turned on them, robbing them of their patrol van and their service weapons.
