A 61-year-old woman was kidnapped from Kempton Park and robbed of her pension money on March 2.
Captain Manyadza Ralidzhivha said the victim alleged that while she was walking on Monument Road at about 12 noon an unknown man approached her, just said “Mama” and then smeared her right hand with grease.
“The man then walked away without saying a word. After a few minutes a white vehicle stopped next to her. The occupants of the vehicle introduced themselves as police.
“The vehicle’s occupants told her that they saw what the man had done to her. They produced police appointment cards and told her to get into their car. The perpetrators drove with her to Glen Marais and stopped at an open [piece of] veld and took the grant money she had withdrawn earlier that day from the bank.
After [they took] her grant money, she was forced out of the vehicle,” said Captain Ralidzhivha.
He said the suspects drove away, leaving the woman stranded in the veld.
