A MAN was arrested for terrorising vulnerable and senior women in Mondeor and surrounding areas, in the early hours of Wednesday morning, October 4.
The suspect had been serving a 64-year prison sentence for similar crimes when he was granted parole.
Since then he had allegedly committed similar crimes.
At a recent breakfast for Seniors on the Go, on September 19, which was coordinated by Michelle Pelser (Mondeor CPF precinct), one of the seniors, who had been a victim, complained to Advocate Phumeza Futshane, chief prosecutor for Johannesburg, who was a guest speaker at the breakfast.
“I feel the justice system is failing us,” she said.
Futshane asked for her case number, adding she would look into it, and later contacted Mondeor Police Station and spoke to Capt Delia Marcovich.
Marcovich immediately got onto the case, made a breakthrough and the suspect was arrested
The suspect will be appearing in court.
“Well done to Mondeor SAPS and to Advocate Phumeza Futshane for her assistance in this case. By working together, SAPS, CPFs and the community, we can make our suburbs safer and arrest more criminals,” said Pelser.
