On Wednesday, 8 June 2022, at approximately 14:00, a group of high school pupils were on their way home when a white Toyota Quantum approached them.
The two occupants of the Quantum offered the children a lift, which they declined due to the recent kidnappings in the area.
The suspects became verbally aggressive and the children ran. Two males aged 24 and 16 got out of the vehicle and caught a 13-year-old boy, holding a knife to his neck.
Community members and the neighbourhood watch came to his rescue. The two suspects were arrested and one okapi knife was seized.
They will appear in the Mitchells Plain Magistrate’s court, once they have been charged.
