PORT ELIZABETH - POLICE DOG COURAGEOUSLY TAKES DOWN 2 KENAKO MALL ATM ROBBERS

Police K9 dog, Jack was hard at work yesterday, tackling and arresting two robbery suspects in Algoa Park at the same time.

It is alleged that on Saturday, 14 September 2019 at about 15:00, K9 unit members were patrolling near the Kenako mall in Algoa Park when they heard a woman screaming. When they stopped, a woman (in her 50’s) informed them that she was just robbed at the ATM of her cash and bank card and that the suspects fled in a white VW Polo.

Members headed off in search of the vehicle and not long after, they spotted it in Daku Street in Kwazakele. When the suspects spotted the police, the front passenger exited and ran off. When the driver made a dash for freedom after ignoring several warnings to stop, Jack was released and apprehended him. The back seated passenger also exited and started running but Jack was soon on his heels and he too, was arrested.

The complainant’s cash and bank card was found on one of the suspects. The cash was found hidden in his shoes. Both suspects, aged 28 and 29 years old were detained on a charge of robbery and are expected to appear in the New Brighton magistrates’ court on Monday, 16 September 2019. The vehicle which belongs to the driver’s mother was seized for further investigation.
