240 Loaves of bread were distributed to the public by robbers after they failed to open the safe in a Hyundai H100 bakkie during a robbery in Mawothi.
The owner of the bread distribution company contacted Reaction Unit South Africa (RUSA) at 08:44 requesting assistance to locate his driver who was taken with the bakkie. Tracker confirmed that signals from the vehicle were emitting in Mawothi. Reaction Officers converged on the area and recovered the vehicle with the South African Police. The driver was not injured.
He explained that while delivering bread in the area a white Toyota Avanza drove up to him and his assistant. One person produced a firearm and forced him to get into the vehicle and drive to an alternate location. The assistant managed to flee and contacted his employer.
The suspects accessed the back of the bakkie but were unable to open the safe. They then forced the driver to offload 24 bread crates packed with 240 loaves of bread. The robbers distributed the bread to pedestrians and residents informing them that Christmas had come early.
They then drove off in the Toyota Avanza.
