TshisaLIVE has confirmed the incident with the local police and it is said that several items have been stolen. It said:

“A British tourist was with her two children when they had to stop so one of the children could relieve themselves by the road. They were attacked by three men and items including cash, laptops and jewellery were taken.”

Katie Price told The Sun:

“We are lucky to be alive. It could have been much worse.”

One Samaritan tried to help and was injured in the process. He is under treatment at the local hospital and is doing well. It was not sure whether Katie would resume her shooting. It has also been reported that she and her kids have been provided security by the police so they can safely continue with their filming.

About the criminals

It is been said by a tourism boss that the criminals who carjacked Katie Price had no clue that they were targeting and robbing a celebrity. It is also stated that Katie, 39, and her two children Junior and Princess, were simply “in the wrong place at the wrong time” when they were held up by a trio of robbers just outside Cape Town this weekend.

The tourism boos Athol Stark said:

“Some people are saying this group were targeted because of Katie Price and who they were but I believe that was absolutely not the case.”

He added:

“This was just the case of people being in the wrong place at the wrong time. This was a group of opportunist robbers who saw people pull over in the dark at the roadside and robbed them.”

He further continued:

“there were millions and millions of rands worth of film equipment on the vehicles but they ignored that and just wanted cash, laptops, mobiles and jewellery.”

It is said that Athol Stark and his team assisted the victims rescued them from the roadside and gave them an overnight hotel to stay in and come out of the trauma.

An eyewitness said:

“Katie was terrified and frantically worried for her little ones. This was a horrific ordeal… every mum’s worst nightmare.”

There have been no arrests made until now. Athol also informed:

“One member of the film company has gone back to England as the trauma was too much for her.”
