News24 reports that hijackers robbed and shot an animal inspector mere metres from the Animal Welfare Society in Philippi on Monday afternoon.
Vice chair and CEO for the society, Dr John McMullen, said that staff were left traumatised after the attack on their branded work vehicle just "down the road" from their offices. "The staff is in complete shock. We have closed the facility and police are taking statements as we speak," he advised. Inspector Angelique Stanbridge and a secretary were heading to the bank with R48,000, the takings since last Friday, when they were attacked. McMullen indicated: "The inspector was driving and she was shot in her arm. Luckily the bullet went through. She is currently in hospital. Our secretary ran back to the offices and told us what had happened". Police recovered the vehicle in Sweet Valley, but the money was gone. A case of attempted murder is being investigated.
