WESTERN CAPE. – A family is making an urgent appeal to the public to help search for Denise Ellie Lewis-Swart, who is alleged to have been abducted by four men at the De Dekke shopping centre in Groot-Brakrivier on Thursday afternoon (29 October). Denise reportedly went to the shopping centre around lunchtime to buy groceries and takeaway coffee.
Assistant Commissioner Christopher Spies, police spokesperson, confirmed to Nuusflits that the circumstances surrounding the disappearance of a woman in Groot-Brakrivier are being investigated. An abduction dossier has since been opened for further investigation. Anyone with information can contact Assistant Commissioner Paul Scheepers of the Groot-Brakrivier detectives on 044 620 8326.
According to Missing Person South Africa, her family provided information that she was forced into a white GAC M8 Master vehicle by force, after which she was driven away. It is unknown where she currently is. Denise's husband, Ulrich, says CCTV footage shows that four men allegedly were in the shopping centre area on Wednesday (28 October) and again on Thursday. During the incident, Denise was wearing white long trousers, a white shirt, a white and cream-coloured jacket and green Adidas shoes. She wears glasses with clear frames and has a small oval-shaped nose ring.
The family is asking residents of Groot-Brakrivier, George and Mossel Bay to be on the lookout for the white GAC M8 Master. Anyone with information, CCTV footage or dash cam recordings from the area on 28 and 29 October is requested to share it with the police.
