Captain Siphiwe Ndlovu, Westonaria Police spokesperson, said the incident took place on Sunday.
Police told the Herald the complainant was allegedly at the Palm Tree Hotel in Westonaria when he was approached by four suspects.
The first suspect demanded money from the victim, alleging that he was owed the money for work he’d done on the victim’s car. An argument then ensued.
Ndlovu further said that one suspect took out a knife and held up the victim while two others searched him. The suspects took R2 150 out of the victim’s wallet, and then ordered him to get into their car, in which they drove to the bank.
At the bank, the suspects demanded the victim’s PIN number, but he gave them a fake number. They then drove the complainant into the bush, where they threatened to kill him with a knife.
