Mugging / Robbery

Deer Park Drive : 19h30 - Female age 25-35 was walking alone on the gravel road leaving Deer Park and was approached by a young well-built, dark-skinned male wearing 3/4 khaki pants and a black shirt. He demanded she give him her small, suede shoulder bag (which contained only cigarettes) but she resisted and he sprayed her with pepper spray. He then wrenched the bag from her, breaking the strap, and ran off into the bushes. The victim was not injured. She often walks in the park and felt it was safe as there were people about and she was leaving the park when approached. SAPS were on a routine patrol up Deer Park drive when they saw her; she gave a description and SAPS proceeded to search the parking area with the help of DPV watch members. The bag was found behind the toilet block in the park. SAPS later took a suspect to the station - the victim was brought to the station but indicated it was not the correct suspect. The victim was encouraged to report the incicent to SAPS and join DPV Watch.
