The woman told the police that she was on her way to exchange US dollars when alleged robbers paid her a surprise visit.

According to the police, the woman passed by her employer’s place to meet a friend.
The woman was still at the gate when she realised that there was a white car behind her car.

The woman said as she was hooting, two men from the car approached her and allegedly forced her to open her window.

The woman said that she didn’t open her window for them, and that led them to allegedly smash her car’s window with no luck.

The woman then managed to drive inside the yard, and that was unfortunately not an escape for her.

One of the men allegedly followed her and continued smashing her car’s window until it broke.

The man allegedly pointed a firearm at her and forcefully grabbed her handbag with cellphone, cash, and bank card.

Sergeant David Ratau, Witbank Police spokesperson, gave out a tip in case of a robbery: “Comply and remain calm. Do not be a hero; your life is worth more.”

Police are urging members of the community to be vigilant at all times, as criminals’ traps are always beyond their expectations.
