Yesterday morning a young lady on her way to work at The Green Elephant was robbed of her hadbag in Lytton St, right outside my home. On hearing her scream I immediately called for help on the Radio, David came running and while I treid to calm the lady he called SAPS who were here in seconds. I only saw the back of the guy who grabbed her bag, her was wearing jeans white top & white takkies.he then fled down the road. The young lady informed me that he jumped into a Maroon (golf) and they sped off. They did not get her cell phone because it was in her pocket, but her pappers and money is gone.
Saps tell me such a car has been involved in other such crimes, so please keep an eye open for two gus in a maroom golf, hany onto your bags, don't carry too much money. Maybe we should carry our cell phone. ID pappers, and money in our pockets.

By a most unfortunate set of highly unusual circumstances a bloke managed to get into the front of our house and took my bag. My husband actually happened to come in from the back at that moment and the bloke threatened him with a gun. Shortish black guy, about 25+, probably brown T-shirt and brown trousers. No reply from Car 1 or Car 2. But ti was too late by then anyway - the chap had run off towards the station. Thanks, Biddy.
