While walking to work recently, a man was allegedly robbed.<\/p>\n

The complainant told Primrose police, while opening a case at the station, that he’d been walking in Fishers\u2019 Hill when he was approached by three men.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

He claimed the men asked him for money to buy food, so he gave them R100 and kept walking.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe explained to officers, that one of the men came up behind him and pressed a sharp object to his throat.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

\u201cHe was joined by one of the other men, who began to search the victim,\u201d said communications officer for the Primrose police, Sgt Styles Maome.<\/p>\n

The pair made off with the man\u2019s wallet, which contained R1 700.<\/p>\n

Using the description given by the man, police started their search for the two accused.<\/p>\n

\u201cOfficers were able to trace one of the men: a 25-year-old was arrested.<\/p>\n

\u201cOfficers are still searching for the second man involved in the crime,\u201d Maome said.<\/p>\n

The arrested suspect appeared in the Germiston Magistrate\u2019s Court recently, where his case was postponed for plea and trial.<\/p>\n
