Robbery Police spokesperson lieutenant-colonel Malcolm Pojie says: “We can now confirm that a 21-year-old man who handed himself over to police last night has been placed under arrest and is scheduled to make his first court appearance on a charge of attempted robbery on Monday [today] in the Cape Town Magistrate’s Court.” Community Safety MEC Reagen Allen says this incident should not make mense bang to explore the Mother City, and adds that the City has deployed more officers since the attack. “This will lead to fewer tourists visiting, which will have a negative impact on our economy and therefore fewer jobs. “The City of Cape Town has already deployed an additional 100 Law Enforcement officers to the CBD and surrounds.
