POLICE have warned homeowners about criminals who are posing as workers from the municipality or Eskom. This comes after a number of robberies in Durban North.
According to Colonel Thembeka Mbhele, provincial police spokesperson, some of the criminals have also been seen wearing clothing resembling municipal outfits.
“The criminals convince homeowners and domestic workers they are there to check water or electricity meters. They will allegedly hold the occupants up and take household appliances and flee the scene. Similar cases have been reported in and around Durban. We are appealing to the homeowners to take extra precautions and verify the identity of anyone who comes to their houses for any work related issues,” he said.
