Jan Kempdorp- A 63 year-old man is still distressed after he escaped unharmed.

A man was allegedly asleep in his house when he heard foot-steps outside on Sunday at around 03:00am. He went out to observe what’s really happening, but he went back into the house after he discovered nothing sinister.

The man allegedly heard another noise and he went to investigate again. He was confronted by two suspects and threatened to shoot him if he does not co-operates.

The suspects demanded the car keys of his white Mazda sting.

“The two male suspects got away with a 63-year-old man’s white Mazda Sting. The matter was then reported to the police and a “look-out” was pursued. At around 13h00 on Sunday, two members from Kimberley Flying Squad, Constable Shouneez Jenkins and Constable Nicholas Ndaku were busy with their normal patrol duties in Kagisho, near Kimberley when they noticed a suspicious White Mazda Sting without number plates” . These members then stopped to investigate, only to find out that according to its licence disk, the car was hi-jacked earlier in Jan Kempdorp” lieutenant Donald Mdhluli said.

The two suspects were searched and the car key was found in possession of one of the suspects. The two suspects, both aged 25, were arrested and charged with possession of stolen motor vehicle.

The two are possibly linked with the hi-jacking case reported earlier.

The Deputy Provincial Commissioner in the Northern Cape, Major-General Risimati Shivuri, has applauded the members for their “good-work”.

“As we approaching the festive season, there will be no stone left unturned. Police and other security agencies will search every vehicle that they come across. Vehicles will be tested whether they were bought lawfully, whether the drivers thereof are authorized to do so, as well as whether vehicles do not possess stolen property, drugs, firearm or any illegal items.

“This will be a vigorous exercise and we are appealing to the public to bear with us during this season” Shivuri said.

The two suspects are expected to appear in the Galeshewe Magistrate’s Court on Monday.
