As the Local security company officer (Marshall Security) was on a routine patrol in the Durban North area, he noticed a female walking and crying on Chelsea Drive and asked if everything was okay.
She notified the officer that she had been robbed by two suspects who forcefully snatched her purse from her which contained cash and bank cards, and fled on foot.
The officer immediately called for backup and went in search of the two suspects after being provided with an accurate description of the suspects by the victim.
After a while of searching, the officer managed to spot the two suspects walking on Brooklands Crescent where they were immediately apprehended.
Upon searching the suspects the victims purse as well as a knife was found in their possession.
Durban North SAPS were contacted who arrived on scene a short while later. The victim desired to open a case and the suspects were transported to Durban North SAPS where the suspects were to be charged for common robbery.
