Thieves snatch handbag from female student in Yaounde

A student was attacked by three suspected men of the underworld at 2 pm on Friday, November 6, 2015 in the Mokolo neighbourhood of Yaounde.

According to the lady, a student in one of the famous tertiary institutions in Yaounde, she went for shopping – as it is her practice - at Mokolo Market, precisely at Mobile Messa. At the end, she started walking down to the Messa Oilya filling station where she parked her car. But soon after settling in the car, three suspected robbers swooped on it, snatching her handbag within a split second.

According to the student, the bag contained her laptop computer, other belongings, phones, over FCFA 200,000 and most especially, her dissertation documents. The girl, who was left in tears and shock, reported the incident at the Mokolo Police Station where investigations have started.
