RUSTENBURG - A 51-year-old man who robbed and raped women after offering them a lift was handed a 15-year jail sentence at the Kimberley Regional Court, Northern Cape police said on Thursday.

Spokesperson Brigadier Mohale Ramatseba said Randall Hughes was found guilty and sentenced by the Kimberley Regional Court for crimes ranging from rape, theft of motor vehicle and robbery. Between 2014 April and 2015 June, Hughes was driving around in a golden brown Toyota Corolla, which was reported stolen in Delft, Western Cape.
