Sgt Barbara Ferreira, the spokesperson for Norkem Park SAPS, warned members of the public to be vigilant when walking the streets.
The warning comes after two men, in a red Ford Ikon, were reported to be targeting children and robbing them of their bicycles and cellphones.
The men allegedly pretend to need and ask for help from the victims to assist them to load sanitiser into their vehicle. This is when the suspects rob the children of their phones and bicycles. One of the suspects is described to have long dreadlocks.
According to Ferreira, five such cases have already been reported at the Norkem Park Police Station.
Ferreira appeals to community members who might have information about the suspects to contact the investigating officer on 011 972 0482 or the client services on 011 391 1999.
