Bloemfontein - Residents at the Qalabotjha township in Villiers arrested two youths for robbing a man of his handkerchief, Free State police said on Monday.

Sergeant Philani Mvuna said the man was overpowered while walking to his home in Qalabotjha at 16:30 on Sunday.

"The suspects (youths) searched him but could not find any money, instead they took his handkerchief."

Mvuna said concerned members of the public, who saw the incident, decided to intervene and arrested the two youths while calling the police.

The boys, aged 19, were arrested and were expected to appear in the Villiers Magistrate's Court on charges of robbery.

This is just a bizarre situation. What kind of person steals a handkerchief? Even worse, the humiliation of being caught and tried for stealing something so futile. They definitely lost their street credibility.

They should also lock the man up for having a handkerchief, bloody disgusting.

Maybe they felt strongly about the handkerchief? I know i wanna puke when i see someone pull one out and blow their nose and then put it back in their pocket.
