Johannesburg - Police say they are still searching for nine men who robbed and hijacked a newspaper publisher and his wife in the driveway of their Houghton home on the weekend.
Captain Bhekizizwe Mavundla said Daily Sun publisher Deon du Plessis and his wife were hijacked after arriving at their Lower Houghton home.
Their nine assailants who arrived in five cars were all armed with pistols and wearing balaclavas.
Mavundla said the men took an undisclosed amount of money, jewellery and cellphones from the couple before driving away with Du Plessis's black Audi.
The car was later recovered abandoned on Louis Botha Avenue in Highlands North by a car-tracking company.
Mavundla said fingerprints had been found in the car and they had been sent to a laboratory for forensic testing.
