Robbers are now posing as delivery drivers – cops warn
The Krugersdorp Police are concerned about the high number of house robbery cases and warning the community to not open for anyone especially if you know nothing needs to be delivered to your house.
Police in Krugersdorp expressed their concern at the number of house robberies occurring in their policing precinct.
“There has been an increase in house robberies and we urge the community to be extra cautious and vigilant,” said Krugersdorp Police spokesperson Captain Raymond Sebonyane.
He added that criminals are becoming clever more than ever before by pretending to be delivery workers for certain companies.

“They are wearing reflectors, driving closed bakkies that look like delivery vehicles and have clipboards. Criminals will tell the victims they are coming to deliver something and when the victims open for them, they point a firearm at them and rob them.”
Captain Sebonyane said these criminals were recently seen in and around the Kenmare area.
