Resident victim of remote jamming
Entering the post office, Nadia got the feeling her car wasn’t locked and again returned to ensure that she was in fact mistaken.
A resident fell victim to the infamous remote-jamming scam while at the post office on Scott Street this morning.
“I check and double check that my car is locked before leaving the parking lot,” said Nadia Aziz. “Being a member of South African Community Crime Watch team for so long has made me aware of the dangers of remote jamming.”
Entering the post office, Nadia got the feeling her car wasn’t locked and again returned to ensure that she was in fact mistaken. Entering the building a second time, she felt someone frantically grab her shoulder, summoning her to her vehicle.
The guard, who has come to know Nadia, alerted her that her vehicle’s front door had been opened by a tall, slender African male.
“I collect my post at Scott Street post office everyday. The elderly car guard is always in the area and has become somewhat of a familiar face,” she said.
Although Nadia did not see the suspect herself, she is set on reporting the case to police.
“Initially, I thought nothing had been taken, but I later noticed that my house keys and gate remote had been stolen. I will have to have the locks changed as soon as possible,”
Nadia would like to thank the car guard for giving chase and attempting to apprehend the suspect. Although his attempts were in vain, she is thankful to the man for going beyond the call of duty.
