Four house robberies have been reported to the Kagiso police within a space of two days.
The Kagiso Police wants to warn residents of Kagiso about a group of suspects who are robbing people in their houses at gunpoint.
Kagiso Police spokesperson Captain Solomon Sibiya explained the suspects would enter the house and take nothing else other than the victim’s cell phones. They would then order the victims to open their banking apps and transfer the cash into their accounts.
