“The incidents take place mostly between 5pm and 10pm, and mostly in driveways. All days of the week are problematic with Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays being more problematic,” warned Molokomme.
Molokomme said perpetrators move around in groups of two or three armed men.
“Vehicles mostly targeted are Mercedes Benz, Renault and Opel sedans. The perpetrators use a white Mazda Midge, white Nissan Micra and light brown Hyundai, all without registration numbers, as getaway cars.”
The criminals, he added, do not hesitate to shoot if provoked.
Norkem Park SAPS requests residents to assist in identifying these criminals and to call the station on 011-391-1814/5, 10111, 08600 10111 or sector vehicles on 071-675-6803/4/5/6.
