On Tuesday, the Gqeberha Hawks took Sinako Magi who was suspected of robbing a bank, into custody. That same day, Magi appeared at Gqeberha New Law court. Two males are said to have invaded the Absa Bank branch located on Govan Mbeki Street in Central on November 22, 2021.
According to reports, the pair supposedly
posed as customers, one of them came up to the cashier and gave her a message
on paper with a strong instruction to give over the cash in her drawer so she would
not be hurt or killed. It is said that the teller followed the directive and
turned over the more than R27 000 that was in her drawer.
Both suspects reportedly left the bank
after receiving the money. Investigations ensued after the matter was reported
to the Hawks. Magi is reported to be serving a 15 years sentence in a
Western Cape prison a similar matter.
Police spokesperson Captain Yolisa
Mgolodela said Magi was presented before the Gqeberha New Law Court and the
case was remanded until November 7, 2023, so that legal counsel could be
obtained and police are still looking for his co-accused, who is still at
large.
