Watch: Fuel station manager foils theft in Mbombela
The senior manager, who is also a rugby player for a local club, sprung into action when alerted about a theft at the petrol station and chased down the suspect.
A manager of the Engen Garage Riverside, Mbombela, recently chased after an alleged thief at the petrol station.
On Tuesday at around 14:45, Victor Swan (22), the senior manager of the fuel station, was alerted by his employees about a suspected thief.

Swan, a player of Nelspruit Rugby Club, approached the suspect in the Woolworths section of the store. The man, noticing the attention, quickly exited. Swan pursued, initiating a chase of about 300m until a taxi halted.
Passengers intervened, assaulting the suspect. Swan then intervened, separating him from the mob, and he pleaded for leniency.
Upon reaching the garage, the suspect was confined to the waiting room, where the SAPS subsequently made an arrest.
