QUICK action by cops saw three thugs lose most of their loot and one of them bust.
Police spokesman Constable Maselela Langa said a woman (39) had just withdrawn R29 000 when she was approached by armed thugs, who robbed her. Their happiness was short-lived as cops tracked them down and bust one of them.
Langa said the incident happened in Bultfontein, Free State, on Monday afternoon.
Langa told Daily Sun: “The victim had withdrawn the money from inside the bank when she was robbed outside by three men in a Volkswagen Polo GT with a North West registration plate.
“An activation plan was implemented and farmers of Bultfontein spotted the car and alerted cops. A chase ensued and the suspects were cornered. Two armed suspects are still at large.
“We urge the community to alert cops when they are spotted. A large amount of cash was found but the gun was not recovered.”
Langa said the Polo was a stolen car.
“The arrested suspect (22) was charged with armed robbery and will appear in court soon.”
