Two men who were arrested in connection with the robbery of a teacher at Rundu's Rudolf Ngondo Primary School last week appeared in the Rundu Magistrate's Court today.

Annanias Amutenya, 27 years old, and Paulus Shaanika, 33, were arrested at a bar in the Sikanduko neighborhood on Thursday.

The getaway car was also found hidden in a yard at the Sauyema location.

NamPol's acting Regional Commander for Kavango East, Deputy Commissioner Eino Nambahu, said the silver Polo sedan is believed to have been hired from Independence Car Hire in Windhoek.

The accused were denied bail when they appeared in the Rundu Magistrate's Court, and the case has been postponed to the 25th of July.

It is alleged that on the day of the robbery, the teacher withdrew an amount of N$14,000 from a local bank, meant for the regional sports event, before heading to school.

It is suspected that the suspects followed her there and jumped the school fence to gain entry.

The suspects then went from one class to another searching for the teacher, and when they finally found her teaching, they grabbed her handbag, in which she had the cash she withdrew along with an additional N$1,200 of her own and some documents.

A male teacher who tried to defend his colleague was injured in the process.
