Actor and SA’s Got Talent judge Jamie Bartlett was on Friday night robbed at gunpoint in Johannesburg.
Jamie Bartlett, popular for his role as David Genaro on Rhythm City, was hijacked and stuffed in his car boot before he was dropped off at unknown location by the robbers.
According to news24 report, Jamie Bartlett was hit in the face while at traffic lights at the corner of Owl and Frost streets in the Auckland Park/Brixton area.
Three men pointed firearms at him and got into his black Mercedes Benz and started beating him. The men pulled him out and stuffed him in the boot of the car.
”They drove with him until they dropped him in a place where he doesn’t know and he waited until morning and he walked around to get assistance,” said Makhubele.
He had been dumped in a veld in Zonkizizwe, near Katlehong on the East Rand.
He asked for help at a house and the man there helped and called Zonkizizwe police for him.
Makhubele said Bartlett was robbed of his vehicle, a black iPhone 7, a shoulder bag and two gold rings, valued together at around R1.2m.
