I assume there were 3 women. One who was attacked, another who is an ONW member who reversed her car to prevent them escaping then called Saps... and a third who was one of the four black people who was part of the criminal group who was arrested and in whose possession police found stolen property. (Not that the victim or the ONW crash driver was arrested.)
Were there descriptions of the men and any trace of them? Which way did they run?

People should know this may not be advisable action if you are not well experienced or well watched! From: Jenny Calder Sent: Saturday, August 22, 2015 1:08 PM To: The Observatory Neighbourhood Watch Subject: [obsnw] Robbery foiled by residents of Bowden road As reported of our facebook page: A woman was robbed of her handbag and laptop in Bowden Road by 4 well dressed black people in a white mercedes. She had parked her car and was going to visit a friend when they attacked her and beat her up. Her screaming alerted the neighbours who through their very efficient whatsapp group rallied around to help but the true hero in this case is one of our members who through very quick thinking reversed her car into the road to prevent them from escaping. They crashed into her car and three of them escaped but the woman was arrested. This woman also managed to alert SAPS who were on the scene very quickly. The stolen handbag and laptop were recovered as well as a number of other stolen bags and laptops in the boot of the car. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- OPS [Obsid Public Safety] - 24/7 control room TEL: 021-447-1066 or 072-063-1653 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- EMERGENCIES: 10111 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ONW email: [email protected] WEB: www.obswatch.org.za FACEBOOK: facebook.com/obswatch ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Useful Obs Numbers: obs.org.za/obsdir You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups The Observatory Neighbourhood watch group.
