Crime in SA | More dating app victims come forward

CAPE TOWN - Three Soweto men charged with crimes relating to kidnapping, extortion and robbery with aggravating circumstances will now have more charges added. 

The trio made their fourth appearance in the Cape Town magistrate's court. 

The men are believed to be part of a wider syndicate targeting those using dating apps like Grindr. 

One person from Camps Bay had R100,000 taken from their account.

The men will remain in custody until their next court appearance on 1 August. 

Their lawyer says they will plead not guilty.
