New data indicates that criminals are shifting their operating hours, with warnings for South Africans to remain vigilant.

New data shows that the times of the day when most hijackings occur have shifted, with criminals now operating more frequently earlier in the day.

According to Tracker’s latest Vehicle Crime Index, hijackings and car thefts had significantly increased by the end of 2023. Tracker COO Duma Ngcobo said the company’s vehicle crime statistics align with the South African Police Service crime data, showing a steady increase in vehicle crime.
