JOHANNESBURG – The SPCA says a truck with a trailer carrying 200 piglets has been hijacked in Pretoria East.

The truck driver was hijacked at gun point in the Donkerhoek area on Tuesday.

The SPCA’s Christine Kuch is appealing to the public to be on the lookout for the Nissan truck.

“Please just let an authority know if you come across the truck and trailer. Even if abandoned at the side of the road, don’t approach – we know the people are dangerous.”

She says the vehicle’s registration is XGR 007–GP and the trailer’s registration is WBC 050–GP.

Each of 20–week–old male piglets are marked with a GHB tattoo in an ear.

Kuch says the SPCA is gravely concerned for the welfare of the piglets.
