Teamwork leads to arrests

We had two train commuters robbed on the train today and in each case, the perps robbed persons on the train between Steenberg and Lakeside Stations and then they jump off the train with peoples belongings.

The first instance this am a lady was robbed but clung onto her tablet and 2 males got away with R50. The lady was unharmed.
They ran up to Main Road with Station security giving chase.
WCSS then assisted and 1 male was arrested. The second got away.

The second instance at 18:20, a lady enroute to Muiz was robbed of her laptop bag with laptop, car keys and other items.
1 male ran down Rooikraans Road into Promenade and was apprehended near the entrance of the Scout Base by WCSS ARO and a laptop bag complete with all the ladies belongings were recovered.
2 others fled along the railway line to Steenberg Station.

We put out the alert and Premier Security, BSS Security, Steenberg, Muizenberg SAPS, WCSS and several patrollers All assisted and apprehended the second perp in Military road near Prince George Drive.
We got the details of the lady who was robbed off the laptop as we did not have her details because she continued on the train to Muizenberg.
Both arrested and all belongings were handed over to Muiz Saps officials and on returning to the station, the lady that was robbed, was already there opening a case.
All her belongings were returned to her.
She was extremely greatful, and we are all greatful we could be of assistance to the lady.

Great teamwork everyone!
