The morning air was pierced by a chilling call over the radio— “Shots fired!” A group of 20 heavily armed suspects had launched a brazen robbery at a business park near Jet Park. But they weren’t the only ones prepared for action. NoJack teams were already on the scene, working alongside their trusted allies, Legendary Guardians. The moment the suspects spotted the security teams, they opened fire, hoping to take control of the situation. But they severely underestimated the response. NoJack and Legendary Guardians immediately retaliated, unleashing a hail of precise counterfire, holding their ground against the violent attack. As the firefight erupted, the inter-company response channel crackled to life, sending an urgent call for reinforcements. Within moments, additional units were deployed, racing to the scene to reinforce the fight. The criminals found themselves trapped in an engagement they could not win. By the time the confrontation ended, seven suspects had been arrested, all armed, while one suspect was fatally neutralized. The rest of the gang had no choice but to flee, abandoning their mission in the face of overwhelming force. This is what NoJack and Legendary Guardians do best—standing together, prepared for any situation, ensuring that criminals never have the upper hand. To those who believe they can strike in broad daylight— think again. We are watching. We are ready. And we do not hesitate. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYEC9CMFqzo&t=5s

Stolen TLB Recovered from Government-Sponsored Construction Site Vehicle theft is an ever-growing challenge, with criminals becoming increasingly sophisticated in their methods. However, NoJack remains steadfast in its mission to track, recover, and return stolen assets to their rightful owners. Our latest success story is yet another testament to the power of our cutting-edge tracking technology and relentless commitment to combating vehicle-related crime. A recent case involved a TLB (Tractor-Loader-Backhoe) that was hijacked from its owner and swiftly moved to a government-sponsored construction site. Thanks to NoJack’s advanced recovery tracking units, our team was able to pinpoint the stolen vehicle’s location with precision. Upon arrival at the site, our recovery specialists, led by Anton and his team, conducted an on-site investigation and confirmed that the TLB had been fitted with a different number plate and had even undergone a fraudulent VIN stamping. This discovery highlighted the deeply entrenched criminal networks operating within certain council registration departments. While we are unable to disclose further details due to an ongoing investigation, this case reinforces the reality of organized vehicle crime and the urgent need for robust tracking solutions.

In a recent incident that underscores the importance of vigilance on our roads, the Nojack Vehicle Tracking team, in collaboration with law enforcement, intercepted a driver using fraudulent license plates in a blatant attempt to deceive authorities. The Automated Alert and Pursuit The incident began when Nojack response vehicle NJ-3, driven by Frikkie, received an alert from its automated license plate recognition system. The system flagged the number plate due to a previous police enquiry, indicating a potential issue with the vehicle’s registration. Frikkie immediately began following the suspect vehicle while calling in the situation. Anton, in NJ-1, coordinated with Frikkie to execute a forced stop, ensuring that the suspect vehicle could not evade accountability. Once the vehicle was stopped, the team moved in to assess the situation. The Discovery Upon closer inspection, Frikkie removed the license disc from the vehicle’s windshield, only to discover that it was a printed copy rather than an official document. A quick database check by Anton further revealed that the VIN number on the disc was registered to a green vehicle of the same make and model—while the car in question was white. This immediately raised red flags. When confronted, the suspect admitted that his vehicle’s license disc was six years overdue. He went on to confess that he had duplicated the plates from a friend’s similar vehicle, further revealing that another black vehicle in the area was using the same fraudulent plates. This indicated a coordinated attempt at deception, not an isolated mistake. The Cover-Up Attempting to downplay the severity of the situation, the suspect offered to remove the false plates himself. However, upon closer inspection, Anton discovered that the legitimate number plates had been deliberately covered by the fraudulent ones—clear evidence of intent to defraud authorities. Recognizing the gravity of the offense, the Nojack team immediately escalated the matter and contacted law enforcement for further intervention. Sergeant Jaco Powell from the Flying Squad was dispatched to the scene to handle the suspect. The Cover-Up As is often the case, the suspect’s demeanor shifted once he realized he had been caught. “Like always, after we catch them, their attitudes change,” said Koen from the Nojack team. “When you put a false plate on your car, you steal from the licensing authority and commit fraud.” Sergeant Powell provided the suspect with an opportunity to drop off his worker and tools before proceeding to the police station for processing. The incident serves as yet another example of the critical role Nojack plays in maintaining road safety and ensuring that those who attempt to bypass the law are held accountable.

A team effort by local security companies led to the arrest of four men suspected of an armed robbery in Farrarmere. The suspects, who are reportedly out on bail for similar offenses, were taken into custody on December 18. According to Anton Koen of NoJack Vehicle Tracking, the arrests were made outside Emperors Palace following an operation involving NoJack, Legendary Guardians, Secpros, and Snipr LPR. The suspects allegedly targeted three pedestrians in Farrarmere on December 15 at approximately 09:40. After the victims reported the crime, security teams identified a black Audi 2 as the getaway vehicle. The Snipr LPR system later detected the same vehicle roaming the area on the morning of December 18, prompting a coordinated response to intercept and apprehend the suspects. The four individuals were handed over to the Benoni Police Station, where further investigations are underway. Authorities have confirmed that the suspects were previously arrested for similar crimes and were out on bail at the time of their latest offense.

NO-JACK Team Assists in Takedown of Johannesburg Hijacking Network In a high-stakes operation, the NO-JACK Vehicle Tracking team, in collaboration with law enforcement agencies, successfully dismantled a major vehicle hijacking syndicate operating in the Johannesburg area. The operation led to the arrest of 10 syndicate members and the recovery of firearms, high-tech electronic devices, and other critical evidence linking the suspects to multiple criminal activities. A Sophisticated Criminal Network For months, authorities had been tracking a coordinated syndicate believed to be responsible for a string of hijackings across Johannesburg and surrounding areas. These criminals employed advanced jamming technology, which allowed them to disable vehicle tracking signals, making it extremely difficult for authorities to locate and recover stolen vehicles. The NO-JACK team, leveraging its cutting-edge tracking technology and real-time intelligence, played a crucial role in identifying the movements of the syndicate and pinpointing their latest operation. As the team worked alongside law enforcement, it became clear that this was no ordinary group of criminals—these individuals were part of a highly organized network involved in vehicle hijacking, potential smuggling, and other serious offenses. The Operation & Arrests Acting on intelligence gathered through extensive tracking and surveillance, a task force was assembled to intercept the syndicate members at a key location. When the operation was executed, the 10 suspects were caught off guard, leaving them with no time to escape or use their jamming devices effectively. Upon searching the premises, authorities discovered a stash of professional-grade signal jammers, which the criminals had been using to prevent vehicles from being tracked. These devices are highly illegal and are often associated with well-organized crime rings specializing in car theft and resale on the black market. In addition to the jamming equipment, law enforcement recovered: Multiple firearms, some of which are suspected to have been used in previous hijackings. Laptops and mobile phones, which are now being analyzed for communication records and evidence of further criminal connections. Various vehicle parts and cloned license plates, suggesting the syndicate may have been involved in stripping and reselling stolen vehicles. Check Our Services Ongoing Investigation & Impact Authorities are now conducting a deeper investigation into the syndicate’s broader operations, including potential ties to international crime networks and the resale of stolen vehicles beyond South Africa’s borders. The confiscated electronic devices are expected to provide crucial leads, and further arrests may follow as more evidence is uncovered. This successful bust marks a significant victory in the ongoing battle against vehicle hijacking syndicates, reaffirming NO-JACK’s mission to protect South African citizens, support law enforcement, and enhance vehicle security.

On August 1, a high-speed pursuit through the busy streets of Benoni ended in a shootout on the N12 highway near Snake Road, resulting in the arrest of two armed suspects. The suspects, who had attempted to hijack a woman in Bardene, Boksburg, opened fire on NoJack Vehicle Tracking and Anti-Hijacking Unit officers when they realized they were being followed. According to NoJack CEO Anton Koen, the suspects displayed extreme aggression, recklessly endangering innocent lives as they tried to evade capture. “The moment they noticed our team was onto them, they started shooting. Our highly trained officers responded swiftly and professionally, ensuring that no civilians were harmed,” Koen stated. Gauteng police spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Mavela Masondo confirmed that police received an urgent backup request from NoJack officers pursuing the armed suspects in a white Ford Ranger double cab. Members of the Highway Patrol Unit responded immediately, tracking down the vehicle on the N12 eastbound. Upon searching the vehicle, law enforcement discovered two unlicensed firearms, loaded with ammunition. Further investigation revealed that the suspects were also driving a suspected stolen vehicle. They were arrested on the scene and are now facing multiple serious charges, including: Possession of unlicensed firearms and ammunition Possession of a suspected stolen motor vehicle Attempted murder of security officers Koen reassured the public that all NoJack officers involved in the operation were unharmed, emphasizing the team’s commitment to protecting South African citizens from violent crime. “This incident once again highlights the ongoing threat of hijackings in our country, but it also proves that with proactive tracking, quick response times, and strong collaboration with law enforcement, criminals will not escape justice,” he said.
