Two suspects, one armed, pulled her out of her vehicle and the third suspect waited in the getaway vehicle.

The suspects fled with her jewelry, handbag, and car keys.
“Luckily the money that she had drawn was not in the handbag,” said Coetzer.

A case of armed robbery has been filed with the Boksburg North SAPS.
Coetzer appeals on everyone to be more vigilant after drawing money.
