He then grabbed her necklace, valued at approximately R5000, from her neck and jumped into the car. A witness to the incident got into his vehicle and chased after the fleeing suspects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Police spokesperson, Col. Priscilla Naidu, said that when the suspects\u2019 vehicle stalled at the corner of Botha and Drommedaris Streets, four suspects alighted and started running. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe community, K9-members and a private security company pursued the suspects who scaled several boundary walls trying to evade arrest. Three suspects, aged 24,27 and 29 years old, were apprehended by the K9-members. The fourth suspect managed to get away,\u201d Naidu explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cUpon inspecting the vehicle, property suspected to be stolen in a housebreaking committed in the area earlier, was found in the car. The vehicle was impounded and the suspects detained on a charge of robbery. Detectives will investigate a possible link to the housebreaking,\u201d she added.&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The suspects are expected to appear in the Uitenhage (Kariega) Magistrates Court
