JOHANNESBURG SOUTH – Residents are notified that there are three young black females and one black male marking houses at night with plastic bags.
Their modus operandi is to place the plastic/paper bags under the resident’s gate by the wheel of the main gate. In the morning at 05:00, 06:00, 07:00 and 08:00 each one takes turns walking down the street where they have placed the bags to see what time the residents leave their houses to go to work.
Residents are urged not to throw the bags away as first instinct but to leave it by the gate. This confusing the suspects as to whether the wind blew it or the client moved it.
Transport Protection Services arrests
Suspects were arrested at various premises by committing a Schedule 1 offence of housebreaking and theft while on the premises.
Hi-jacked vehicle recovered
One colored male and three colored females were seen walking away from the car when TPS arrived. One woman was pregnant. It was later confirmed with the client that they were in the vehicle when the owner was assaulted.
