Phone thief runs into trouble

A thief who snatched a cellphone and fled did not have a leg to stand on when he was confronted about the robbery. Karma left the culprit with a broken leg after he jumped from a building in Joubert Park‚ Johannesburg‚ in his bid to escape. Sgt Mduduzi Zondo said five suspects robbed a man of his cellphone and cash. Zondo said the victim and other community members chased the thieves and one of them ran to the second floor of a nearby building and jumped out‚ breaking a leg. The man was arrested on the spot‚ said Zondo. –
