A woman has been left shaken and traumatized after she was ambushed, violently beaten and robbed of her handbag by three (3) bandits in the car park of Adam’s Bagels in Maraval on Tuesday (20th October, 2026). She was reportedly followed to the establishment after visiting a local bank.

According to CCTV footage of the incident, the woman walked towards her parked white Kia Sportage after leaving Adam’s Bagels, located along Saddle Road, Maraval, when three (3) men alighted from a nearby parked silver Nissan Tiida, while a fourth man remained in the driver’s seat. As the woman entered her vehicle and sat down, one of the suspects grabbed and dragged her out, while another man went into her car. While on the ground clinging to her handbag, one of the bandits violently punched her several times, while a third man tugged at the bag until the woman eventually let go. The men then re-entered their car and sped away, heading South along Saddle Road.

Police were alerted about the robbery and responded to the scene.
