Beachfront assault accused appear in court
The two accused face charges of robbery, malicious damage to property and assault.
ACCUSED of having stolen a cell phone and money, a man and his friend were recently assaulted at the Scottburgh Main Beach parking lot.
The victim and his two friends had parked their vehicle when they were met by two men who accused them of the theft.
Their vehicle was kicked and damaged – a tyre was punctured with a knife.
The victim’s phone was also taken.
