The Kaya FM radio breakfast show host, Bob Mabena, experienced a smash-and-grab on Tuesday night in Pretoria West.
Taking to Twitter, Mabena said the incident happened on Roger Dyason Road towards the Fountains Valley Resort.
“Just experienced a smash & grab. Be vigilant out there,” he tweeted.
In another tweet, the presenter said: “I didn’t see them coming. Just heard a loud crash of my window being smashed and that was it!”
Mabena did not detail whether anything was taken but thanked police for assisting him.
“A big thank you to Lyttelton police station for giving me faith in our men in blue last night. Great service.”
Lyttelton police spokesperson Warrant Officer Hero Gumbu said a camera was taken when Mabena stopped at a robot.
“He said a man came to his window and smashed it. The man fled with his Canon camera. A struggle ensued between the two as the man tried to take Mabena’s phone but failed. A case of theft out of motor vehicle is being investigated.”
