A woman and her child were overpowered by an alleged robber while returning to their car from a shopping centre. In an unexpected twist, the woman managed to take the robber’s gun from him and tried to shoot him with it, only to realise it’s not real.
Captain Jethro Mtshali, spokesperson for Kempton Park SAPS, says the incident happened on Sunday at a centre on the corner of CR Swart Drive and Kelvin Street. “She alleged that she was approached by an armed man who tried to take her belongings. In the scuffle, the man grabbed the woman’s handbag and ran away. She tried to shoot the suspect with the gun she had taken from him but discovered it was a toy gun.”“They caught the suspect meters from the scene,” said Mtshali.
“The suspect was apprehended and handed over to Kempton Park SAPS who arrested him. The victim’s belongings were returned.” The man was detained at the Kempton Park SAPS pending his appearance at the Kempton Park Magistrate’s Court on charges relating to the robbery.
