Robbery suspects nailed by Zoom

Three alleged robbers were caught in the act while attacking a Swakopmund couple who were participating in a Zoom fitness session on Tuesday. Police spokesperson Ileni Shapumba says the suspects forcefully entered the home of Riaan and Elizabeth Rossouw and attacked them with a panga. The Namibian reports that they were unaware that their attack was being recorded by the online training session. ‘The other participants immediately notified the members of the Swakopmund Neighbourhood Watch who, together with members of the Namibian Police, responded promptly and arrested the three suspects,’ Shapumba says. Booysen has been hospitalised and is in a stable condition and attempts are being made to save his eye.
