This time, however, the attackers let her out of the car a short distance away.
Police confirmed the incident happened in the parking area of the local Checkers store in Da Gama Road. Warrant officer Gerda Swart says in a police statement three men approached the women in her early 20s demanding money at around 2pm. As she was looking in her handbag they overpowered her, hit her over the head and forced her into a white VW Polo. They rode off at speed but stopped in the nearby Kabeljous resort to allow her to get out of the car.
This latest event is indicative of how crime is flooding across the Eastern Cape and now reaching serene towns like Jeffreys Bay.
Meanwhile Eastern Cape police have also stressed that no arrests have yet been made in connection with the abduction and murder of Panayioutou. Social media has been abuzz with speculation of arrests but brigadier Marinda Mills said detectives are still in the process of following up leads.
She said that while it is true that people have been questioned, it is not true that arrests have been made.
