Brackenfell police this morning confirmed that an arrest was made on Tuesday in connection with the attempt to rob an 11-year old girl in Brackenfell the previous week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The suspect, a 22-year old man from Gugulethu, will appear in the Kuils River court today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He was arrested at his residence after police followed up on information received from witnesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The incident occurred on Wednesday afternoon at approximately 16:20. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt is alleged that the girl was sitting outside in front of her home in Sonkring when a silver Avanza (with four unknown males) stopped in the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The driver got out with a knife in his hand and grabbed her by her arm repeatedly, trying to rob her of her cellphone. When a neighbour yelled at him to stop, he jumped in the Avanza and it sped away,\u201d says police spokesperson, Captain Erica Crous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
