Durban - A MAN was arrested on Monday after he jumped from the third floor of a Morningside building after holding up his former boss at knifepoint. The boss, a 75-year-old fruit and vegetable trader who did not want to be named, said she heard a knock on the door. Her son’s van assistant was standing at the door. He had a parcel in his hand. The assistant had been fired recently but the woman had forgotten about it.
“He said my son was downstairs and that he was told to give me a parcel. It was too big to fit through the locked gate. He had a cloth mask on. I recognised him as our employee. I wanted to greet my son so I opened the gate,” she said. “One of them told me if I scream he will kill me. I recognised two of them as van assistants. We looked after these assistants for years. They ate as much fruit as they wanted. They even took fruit home for their family. I mustered up the courage to scream,” she said.“We responded when a message of a possible home invasion was posted on the Rapson Crime Group. A combined effort by the police and security led to the arrest of two men,” he said.
