The Muldersdrift Police managed to arrest a 31-year-old man last week (Tuesday 2 December) for armed robbery.
Hitler Ngwenya, police spokesperson said the complainant was on her way home when she saw an unknown man approaching her from behind.
“The man threatened to stab her with a knife and demanded money and her cellphone. After taking what he wanted, he fled the scene.”
