When an Algoa Park mother went outside her house to collect the birthday present she had ordered online for her daughter, the last thing she expected was to come face to face with an armed robber.
Six men using the vehicle of a company hired to fix a broken substation in Gelvandale were arrested on Friday for cable theft near the Ditchling substation and later released.
Algoa Park residents assumed neatly dug up trenches near Whyteleaf Drive to remove underground cables was the work of Nelson Mandela Bay officials but after the digging continued at night, three men were later arrested by the police’s K9 Unit.
