The arrest video of Melany “Mel” Viljoen and her husband Peet Viljoen, of The Real Housewives of Pretoria, has surfaced, adding to the widespread discussion around the couple.
On March 10, they were arrested for allegedly stealing from Publix Super Market in Boca Raton, Florida, in the US.
The couple allegedly stole more than $5,300 (R87,000) worth of groceries using a “ticket-switching” scheme, scanning cheap seasoning packets while bagging expensive goods.
In the video of their arrest, Peet is seen co-operating with officials while being handcuffed next to their black Range Rover after being pulled over. He is heard asking, “Are you arresting me?”
Melanie, wearing a white robe and also being co-operative, first exits the flat and is handcuffed before being allowed to change clothes, searched and then placed in the police car.
