She parked her vehicle at 7.15pm when she noticed a white vehicle stopped behind her.
Capt Johannes Ramphora, Springs police spokesman, says a suspect, armed with a firearm, approached the woman and demanded that she hand over her personal belongings to him.
“The armed suspect pulled the woman out of the vehicle, took her cellphone, and tried to pull her ring off her finger,” says Ramphora.
Threatening to shoot her, the suspect ordered the woman to take off her ring and hand it over to him.
Ramphora says the suspect drove off in the stolen Audi, with the woman’s handbag and her laptop, which was in the vehicle.
The victim’s handbag contained her wallet and cash.
