NCA Response received a distress call from a lady that she was having problems with her ex-husband in Klerksdorp and that they were being held against their will at 21:47 NCA Northwest response from Klerksdorp activated, notified SAP, at that time we had no information of what type of weapons were involved. The lady could not speak due to circumstances and communicated in secret.
22:10 Before we reached the Pin Location, he loaded the mother with children into a vehicle and started driving. Victim shared a life location to two members who were able to pass screenshots on to NCA Reaponse group and coordinate the locations through on Zello. Suspect drove out on Leemhuis street, turning right on R30, towards Orkney. Moved through Orkney and crossed Free State border.
22:52 Case moved to Free State province: NCA Bothaville Responders and Rural Security were activated. In preparation, Odendaalsrus and Welkom were placed on standby. One of the members involved drove out to stand outside Bothaville and therefore team members who blocked the road in Bothaville kept up to date when vehicle entered the area and then drove up from behind the vehicle the moment it passed him and so they were now in our sights. The victim constantly provided bits of information whenever possible that she could, under circumstances, both she and children were very traumatised. She had informed us just before Bothaville was that he had a knife. And we also received a portion of Registration number that she could remember. That was enough to run a successful registration check. Vehicle’s details were confirmed.
23:28 Vehicle passes lookout outside Bothaville which it follows at a safe distance. Member constantly passes on progress to team blocking road with SAP at Toyota in Bothaville.
11:33 p.m. The entire operation has visual.
