After intimidating the young couple, the man allegedly set his sights on his son’s business in Krugersdorp CBD where he was caught red handed by the security guard attempting to steal an air-conditioning unit.
It is believed that when the guard approached the man he quickly stopped, got in his car and fled the scene.
Insiders told the News the man was aware of a warrant for his arrest and vowed to hand himself over to police which he failed to do.
Upon his arrival at Lanseria Airport on 14 April, he was surprised by group of police officers along with the investigating officer of his case who waited to take him into custody.
He spent two days in the Krugersdorp holding cells and was released on bail on 23 April.

The case was postponed and referred to the Randburg Regional Court.
