Cape Town – A Mitchells Plain couple are warning parents to be careful when travelling on Jakes Gerwel Drive after their daughter was nearly snatched from her father’s arms.
Denise Wessels and Byron Adonis say a simple family day out on Saturday resulted in a nightmare for the entire family, including their three-year-old daughter Isabella Rose Adonis, who was almost kidnapped.
“We were travelling to N1 City just after 2pm, and Isabella’s friend was with us. Isabella was with her daddy at the back and I was driving,” explains Denise.
“Her daddy was napping and she was laying on him. When we passed the Bluegum intersection [near Langa] we got stuck in some traffic and there were cars on either side of us.”
Byron says “out of nowhere” he heard the window break and saw a man climb through it and grab Isabella’s leg.
“I got a fright as he came in and went straight for her. He grabbed her leg and pulled her towards him, but I just held onto her tightly and would not let go. She screamed and I shouted and then they left.”
The shocked couple says it took them a few seconds to comprehend what had happened. IOL
