PLETTENBERG BAY NEWS AND VIDEO - An attack on a couple taking a stroll in Challenge Drive in Plettenberg Bay was captured on CCTV early yesterday morning when a mugger grabbed the woman’s handbag.

The video that has been circulated widely on social media, shows that when the couple fought back, the mugger became aggressive, hitting them and pushing them to the ground.

In the video it looks as though the attacker only makes off with two hats before fleeing the scene.

Otto Olivier, operations manager of the Plettenberg Bay Crime Prevention Association, says a R10 000 reward is being offered for further information.

Olivier says within minutes of the attack people came to the distraught and injured couple’s aid and they were rushed to Medi Clinic in a private vehicle.

“Various responders flooded the area, and a search was conducted of the area and escape routes,” said Olivier.
