Freesia Avenue - Thursday - Between 14:20 and 14:35
A woman was walking to work and she saw a man watching her across the road. He came up behind her and grabbed her, threatening her with a knife. He demanded her cellphone and wanted her to come with him, but she refused and he left. She ran to work and reported the incident. Her manager called DPVwatch who immediately put out a radio alert and members ran out to assist.
Because of the good description members were able to spot the man in the fields below De Waal Drive. Initially it was thought that he had managed to escape under eastern Boulevard but SAPS spotted him and he was arrested. The victim positively identified him and the stolen cellphone was later discovered hidden in his clothing!
Well done to all!
