Hi Inge My manager had brought this to my attention but from what I understood this is what happened. An individual lost an argument with his girlfriend and brother and through a bottle or brick through one of my clients car windows. The client managed to wrestle the guy to the ground while someone called for help. My manager and security called in SAPS and flagged down ADT. ADT managed to cuff the guy to a fence while they waited for the SAPS. When SAPS eventually rocked up he was not arrested or detained but instead was released. As far as we know SAPS stood by while the perpetrator fled and did nothing else. The screaming young lady had just finished her shift at one of the restaurants up the road to check on a friend of hers boyfriend who was at my venue with someone else??? For obvious reasons was upset but took it out on the wrong people including they guy whose car got damaged. I know this sounds like a bit of a Days of our Lives episode but my apologies for any inconvenience my clientele might have caused. As soon as I have any more info on the situation I will let you know. If you have any problems in future please feel free to contact me on 0833300700.
