While walking in Oak Avenue last Saturday afternoon, a woman was allegedly approached by two men, aged 31 and 48 respectively.
“The complainant alleged that one of the men began touching her all over her body, while the other swore at her and called her names,” explained Sgt Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose Police Station.
“They reportedly attempted to take her handbag, but were frightened away when a vehicle with two good Samaritans stopped to assist.”

“When he arrived they drove around the area until they spotted the suspects.
“The couple then stopped a passing police vehicle, reported the matter and pointed out the accused men,” said Maome.
The men were arrested on a charge of attempted robbery and harassment.
