“The victim drove to the complex where he resides and parked at the gate, waiting to enter. The suspects exited a white Mazda parked in the middle of the street.

“The victim noticed them and tried to reverse but the suspects managed to stop him. They apparently knew the victim had withdrawn the cash and demanded the exact amount. They fled with the R50 000.

“Residents should be careful when withdrawing large sums of money. They should opt for online transfers for safety reasons,” said Madiga.
