Update
MOSSEL BAY NEWS - Shortly after a manhunt was launched in search of two male suspects allegedly involved in an armed robbery at a home near The Lofts apartments on Louis Fourie Road opposite Diaz Beach last Tuesday, the Da Gamaskop Police arrested a 32-year-old man in connection with the incident.
A Southern Cape Police spokesperson, Warrant Officer Chris Spies, says the man appeared in the Mossel Bay Magistrate’s Court on Monday 12 October.
The court postponed the matter to 19 October for a formal bail application.
Spies previously told Mossel Bay Advertiser that the victim, a 43-year-old woman, was woken up by a noise in the early hours of 6 October and saw two men, allegedly with firearms in their possession, inside her home.
They reportedly threatened her and stole various items, including a TV and cellphones, before fleeing the scene.
The second suspect remains at large.
Any information that could aid the police’s investigation should be provided to the investigating officer, Warrant Officer Adéle Malherbe, on 044 606 2245 or Crime Stop on 08600 10111.
