⚠️ Safety Awareness Please be extra vigilant when travelling around Observatory and surrounding areas. We were almost hijacked after a white BMW followed us from Observatory. We managed to get safely to the police station, where we reported the incident. A big thank you to CAP Security for responding so swiftly and assisting us during the situation. 🙏 Please stay alert, avoid driving straight home if you suspect you’re being followed, and rather head to a police station or a safe, busy location. Share this with others so everyone can stay aware and safe. 🚨
