POLOKWANE – The Provincial Commissioner of Police in Limpopo Lieutenant General Thembi Hadebe has established a team of investigators to track down the suspects who were allegedly seen taking a woman by force and shoving her into the boot of a motor vehicle at Kgaphamadi village under Hlogolou policing area outside Groblersdal and driving off on Monday, 09 May 2022 at about 10:00.

Refiloe Malope (31) was allegedly seen by neighbours being forcefully shoved into the boot of a white Toyota sedan by two unknown men who thereafter sped off in the direction of Motsephiri. The information at our disposal is that the victim was allegedly approached by one of the suspects under the pretext that he was looking for assistance as his vehicle was having a breakdown in the village and when the two arrived at the car, the second suspect suddenly emerged and the two forcibly put the lady into the boot of the car.

The neighbours were apparently alerted by the frantic screaming of the victim. The Police were called and a search operation for the victim and the hunt for the suspects were immediately launched.

The Provincial Commissioner has urged community members to assist the Police in tracking down the suspects and also help them find the woman.

The motive behind this incident is unknown at this stage and we make an appeal to anyone with information to contact Detective Sergeant Amos Thekupi on 082 775 5462 or Crime Stop on 08600 10111 or may use MySAPSApp. Callers may opt to remain anonymous and any Information received will be regarded as confidential.
