Eldorado Park E-Hailing Robbery: Woman Seen in Dashcam
A male e-hailing driver was robbed in Eldorado Park, Johannesburg, on October 27, 2026, in an incident captured on video that has spread widely on social media. According to the notes provided and posts circulating online, the footage shows a woman who allegedly acted as bait, but police have not yet confirmed the details or any arrests.
What the video is said to show
Social media posts say the clip shows a woman who appears to have lured the driver as part of the robbery. These claims have not been confirmed by the South African Police Service (SAPS) or by any news outlet reviewed. This article does not name the woman, because no police statement or credible report has publicly named her.
The posts also say people have called on the police and locals to track her down in Extension 6. Police have not announced any suspect, and no confirmed arrests had been reported at the time of writing.
Police warn the public against taking action themselves. Anyone with information should contact Eldorado Park SAPS on 011 946 0300 or 082 444 3001, or the Crime Stop number, 08600 10111, according to earlier SAPS statements.
A pattern of attacks on drivers
