Thief uploads his picture to victim's WhatsApp profile

Beeld reported that Lohan van Heerden, 20, a
second year actuarial science student at the
University of Pretoria, could not believe his
eyes when the very thief who had stolen his
phone the night before uploaded a picture of
himself.
Earlier this month, Van Heerden was driving
home from Hatfield to Pretoria Gardens when
four men jumped into his car at a traffic light,
held a knife to his throat, and robbed him of
his phone, jacket, belt, and money.
The robbers had also forced him to drive to an
ATM to withdraw R1000, before letting him go.
Van Heerden said when he saw the picture he
immediately recognised the man as the gang's
ringleader, and also as the one who had
assaulted him by hitting him in the face.
Police were investigating the case.
Anyone with information on the thief should
call the Sunnyside police station detective
branch on 012-422-3678 or the SA Police
Service on 08600-10111.
