|||Cape Town - Fisherman were in shock as cops dragged a car from their favourite fishing hole.
The two say they came across the submerged car at about 6.20am on Thursday in the Breede River, just outside Robertson.
“They [robbers] must know this area, otherwise how would the car end up here,” says Pieter.
Police spokesman Captain FC van Wyk says the car was stolen during an armed robbery in Montagu.
“The complainant was at home when he was attacked by three unidentified men,” Van Wyk says.
The men were armed with a gun and a knife.
The victim was then robbed of cash and his cellphone before the attackers made him drive to his business, where they stole more money from a safe.
“They then drove him back to his home in Montagu where they locked him up in a room,” he says.
The attackers then fled the scene in the man’s Volkswagen Polo.
Van Wyk says cases of armed robbery and theft of a motor vehicle are being investigated. No arrests have been made.
