Two children, aged 10 and six, have escaped unharmed after their mother’s vehicle was stolen in Mthatha on Tuesday morning with them still inside.
Police spokesperson Captain Dineo Koena said the vehicle was also recovered, abandoned near Tsolo three hours after the incident.
“The woman was travelling on the R61 between Mthatha and Ngcobo at around 7.30am when her car struck a 13-year-old female pedestrian, she stopped immediately and while she was attending to the girl, who had sustained a broken leg, an unknown man jumped into her car and drove off,” said Koena.
The suspect is still at large, no arrests have yet been made...
