The robbers also grabbed other items of value that includes an i-Phone, spectacles, a satellite phone, camera, a torch, a watch, several camera accessories such as memory cards and lenses and N$1 300 in cash. The value of the stolen items are estimated to be N$85 100.<br \/>After the police and the district watch was alerted of the robbery and the theft from the two campsites, a team of officers followed the tracks of the robbers and found the first suspect on Friday morning 35 kilometres from Kamanjab.<br \/>The relentless search continued which lead to the arrest of the second suspect on Sunday and according to a member of the Kamanjab District Watch the third suspect is known to police and an arrest will be made soon.<br \/>The first two suspects were remanded in custody after they made their first appearance in the Outjo Magistrate\u2019s Court on Monday and although not officially confirmed the robbers were also charged with attempted murder besides the robbery and theft charges they already face.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"alignnormal\"><!-- MetaSlider 271797 not found --><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":276056,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-276054","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 -
