The mobile clinic operator has managed to live to tell the tale after two armed hijacking attempts.

"I drove for my life and theirs," the operator, who has asked to remain anonymous, said.

The latest armed hijacking attempt took place on Thursday, July 24, and the first just two days earlier.

At the time of the incident, there were four cats and 12 dogs inside the mobile clinic who were being returned home following sterilisation at the SPCA's Animal Hospital.
