Robbers snatch bride’s wedding dress in peak hour traffic
Jennine Naidoo, a bride-to-be, was left stunned after robbers stole her wedding dress during peak hour traffic in South Africa.
In a social media post, Naidoo recounted the incident that occurred while she and her father were driving to a tailor to alter the gown in the Durban CBD earlier this week.
“We had been driving near West Street near the China Mall that burnt down when we were robbed. While in traffic my dad kept on looking in his rear-view mirror as we know that area is a hotspot for smash and grabs,” Naidoo said.

“All of a sudden my father noticed a guy had opened the back of the bakkie somehow, we started shouting hysterically but he had already pulled the dress out.”
“Another guy was with him and he just smirked at me. I had purchased the dress last year and was excited to wear it. But I would never want it back. It was so special and now I feel it has been tainted,” she said.
Naidoo had picked up the dress several days earlier and was looking forward to wearing it for her wedding next week Saturday.
Despite the unfortunate event, Naidoo decided not to report the matter to the police, expressing her lack of faith in the justice system’s ability to recover the stolen gown.
“The justice system always fails us and it won’t bring my dress back,” she said.
