Murdered horse showjumper Meghan Cremer might have been in her stolen car when it passed through a Wynberg roadblock about five hours after her abduction on 3 August.
“A roadblock was held in Wynberg on Saturday, 3 August by the Traffic Service, assisted by the local branch of the SAPS,” confirmed Richard Bosman, Executive Director of Safety and Security at the City Council.
“The driver of the vehicle was not deemed to be under the influence and was let go.”
A family friend said he recognised the car at the roadblock but not the man and two women driving it and alerted a cop, but says the officer laughed at him.
The man did not know at the time that Meghan had been abducted.
It is alleged that the suspects broke the 30-year-old Woodstock Bakery manager’s nose to get her bank PINs.

For the next two days until their arrest they allegedly made at least three cash withdrawals from her account at Ottery Pick n Pay, Pelican Park Shoprite and a Philippi ATM, reports the Weekend Argus.
Meghan was found of Thursday morning when one of the three suspects allegedly led police to her body, buried in a Philippi sand mine.
She was found fully dressed, and tied up with a rope around her neck.
Jeremy Sias, 27, Charles Daniels, 39, both from Egoli informal settlement, and Shiraaz Jaftha, 34, from Lotus River have been arrested.
They are all believed to be members of the Six Bobs gang.
Sias, a tractor driver on the Vaderlandsche Rietvlei Stables farm in Philippi where Meghan lived and stabled her horses, may have been familiar with her movements and might have even been known to her, said a source.
