South African police said on Tuesday a government minister was robbed and her bodyguards had their guns stolen in what authorities in the crime-ridden country described as an “unprecedented incident”.
“The tyres of the Minister’s car were punctured by spikes, bringing the car to a stop enabling the criminals to rob the occupants of valuables,” the transport ministry said in a statement.Police spokeswoman Athlenda Mathe said the robbers got away with personal belongings and two South African Police Service pistols.
Involving a high-profile official with an armed security detail, the incident is striking even for South African standards.
