An alleged child snatcher was caught by alert Ravensmead residents after he apparently tried to lure three boys into his car.
Cape Town - Residents in Anemone Road went attempted to beat up the 20-year-old man who allegedly offered the six- and seven-year-olds party packs and invited them to get into his vehicle.
“It was put out on our WhatsApp crime group because the car was driving around suspiciously up and down the roads,” he explains. “One of the residents in the road saw what was happening and ran up to them and that is when the whole thing happened.“They wanted to moer him, but instead they locked him up in one of the houses and waited for the police to come.”
Randall says he went into the house to speak to the man, who claimed he didn’t understand what was happening.
