A German couple was walking home from a restaurant in Kramersdorp Swakopmund on Monday night at around 21:19 when four thugs allegedly jumped out of a car and grabbed all their belongings they had on them.

It is alleged that the 44-year-old man and his wife were attacked but left uninjured by the four suspects who jumped out of a silver/white Volkswagen Polo, registration number, N38291W and grabbed from them a Canon camera D-70, a camera lens, SD-Card, a blue backpack, a pair of Gucci sunglasses and a silver necklace and bracelet. The total value of the stolen items is N$34 000. Nothing has been recovered yet and no arrests were made. Investigations continue by Nampol’s Tourism Protection Special Devision
