“We are not sure how many people were involved in the first two incidents, but in the third case there were two people and in the most recent we only saw one person on the camera footage,” the couple explained.

A few garden items were stolen, including a lawnmower and trimmer. Their wheelie bin was also taken, which they suspect the criminals could have used to load the goods into.

Previously, 26 chairs from inside the house and a computer were stolen, as well as garden tools, including a trimmer.

A house burglary case was opened with Kempton Park SAPS.

The couple has also posted on Facebook to warn the community about the criminals. If anyone has information or has seen the person captured on the CCTV footage, please contact area police on 071-675-6811.
