extorting their victim, who had to pay protection fees on a weekly basis.
‘’They also created a false Facebook account and used the
victim’s identity to sell products of which the buyers never received the
products,’’ said Sergeant Wesley Twigg, Western Cape police spokesperson.
The two suspects, aged 23 and 24, were arrested and
appeared in the Wynberg Magistrates’ court on Friday, 25 October 2024. They
were remanded in custody.
Western Cape police appealed to the public to report
extortion related incidents on the Western Cape Extortion Hotline on 0800 31
4444 so that these incidents can be thoroughly investigated and perpetrators be
brought to book.
