Johannesburg - A man was arrested in Alexandra on Wednesday
after two women were attacked and robbed of R6 000, Johannesburg metro police

Chief Superintendent Wayne Minnaar said the women took a
taxi after withdrawing money from a bank.
"The taxi was followed by three suspects in a white

one of the women that contained the money," he said.
Metro police were alerted and arrested a man in his early
20s, Minnaar said.
