Nuukanga Titus Aitembu, a 47-year-old resident of the Twaloloka location in Walvis Bay, went shopping at a mini-market in the Onhimbu location of Outapi, where an unknown suspect stealthily exchanged his credit or debit card during the swiping.
According to the police, the suspect went straight to an ATM and withdrew N$45,805 from the victim’s account.
