Bodycam shows Real Housewives couple's arrest in alleged Publix theft

Body cam footage shows Melany Viljoen and Petrus Viljoen, stars of The Real Housewives of Pretoria, being taken into custody by Boca Raton police on March 10. Melany, 39, answers the door wearing a bathrobe, confirms there are no pets or other people in the home, and is allowed to change before officers escort her to a vehicle.

Calm and cooperative throughout the encounter, she tells officers 'You saw me naked' during a pat-down and is permitted to dress before being taken into custody. Petrus, 57, was stopped while driving a black Range Rover and initially asks, 'Are you arresting me?' An officer tells him he is being investigated for retail theft and will be taken to the Palm Beach County Jail.

He gives information about the vehicle's registration, identifies his wife as being at their apartment and, like his wife, is described as cooperative; both face aggravated grand retail theft charges over $3,000 and are held on $10,000 bond. Police launched a six-month investigation after surveillance footage on Aug.
