"During the arrest process, the male spat in the face of the arresting officer," Acting Snr Sgt Notman said. None of the windows were ultimately smashed, Acting Snr Sgt Notman said. Earlier in the day, about 5.30am, an off-duty police officer witnessed two male youth crashing an allegedly stolen vehicle in Andersons Bay Rd. Police arrested one of the youths at the scene and another at his home address, Acting Snr Sgt Notman said. Both of the arrested youth were scheduled to appear in the Youth Court this week.
