The Western Cape SAPS – Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences Unit is seeking the assistance of the public to trace 38-year-old Brent Van Dam.
Van Dam is wanted for allegedly attempting to attack a schoolboy in the bathroom at a learning institution where he works.
According to SAPS, ” The suspect allegedly went to the bathrooms of a local school where he found two minor boys. He requested one of the boys to leave the bathroom and grabbed the boy that was using the facility inside the cubicle. The boy who left the bathroom returned and kicked the suspect who then lost his balance, which paved the way for the victims to escape”.
The minor who was still in the bathroom fought to keep the door closed as soon as he noticed someone trying to get into the stall he was using.
During the struggle, the boy managed to take a look at the face of the person who wanted to force himself into the stall and identified him as Van Dam.
Efforts to locate the suspect have been futile. He is not reachable at his residence either.
Police urge anyone with information on the suspect’s whereabouts to contact the investigating officer Sergeant Themba Tobi on 082 522 1083.
Alternatively, call Crime Stop on 08600 10111
