A COUPLE was allegedly kidnapped and assaulted, and the woman was raped, by the occupants of a metered taxi.
The couple hired the cab from Sunninghill, to get home in the early hours of Sunday.
They were allegedly attacked by two men who jumped from the boot into the back seat, and were then taken to a house in Greenfields, Alberton.
Thereafter they were tied up and robbed of their cellphones and cards, and the woman was allegedly raped by one of the men.
It has been reported that a teenager spotted the couple and alerted community members to what was happening. The thugs fled before help arrived and are still at large.
Police are currently investigating.
“The police have several leads,” said Gauteng police spokesman Lieut-Col Lungelo Dlamini
