Police in the North West say they are disappointed that a man caught on camera fighting back against criminals is refusing to open a case.
Police spokesperson Col Adéle Myburgh told TimesLIVE that officers were able to identify the victim from the video and have traced him to open a case, but he has refused. “Sadly, this is the second incident where the complainant refused to open a case.
In a similar incident in May, the complainant also refused to open a case even though the suspects who allegedly robbed him were identified,” Myburgh said. In the video, five men can be seen attempting to either rob the victim or hijack his white SUV in the Klerksdorp CBD. The man, armed with what appeared to be a knife, courageously fought back until his assailants gave up, according to a witness, Thato Ledimo, who recorded the incident.
