“He has not been seen again by the police. A warrant of arrest has now been issued.

“Any person with information that could assist the police in tracing the suspect is urged to contact the investigating officer, detective Sergeant Jacobs, on 071-475-2324 or Crime Stop on 08600 10111.

“Callers may remain anonymous,” Beetge said.
