According to a Police statement, the incident occurred just after midnight in the Kitty area.
The gold miner was standing on the Kitty Public Road, close to the seawalls, when he was corned by four men who robbed him of his two mobile phones and an undisclosed sum of cash.

The Police was summoned and the teen was handed over.
