Man held after false hijack claim

A MOTOR plant industrial engineer was arrested in Port Elizabeth yesterday for allegedly falsely staging the hijacking of his car after he had used it to pay off a debt. Anga Tyopo, 24, who works at Volkswagen SA in Uitenhage, was arrested shortly after walking into the Humewood police station’s community service centre, claiming to have been hijacked and robbed while leaving his home in Havelock Street, Central, after 6am yesterday.
