Stones were used to gain access to a woman’s car on Tuesday, 2 August at about 6pm. While driving over the bridge on Pendlebury Road, Mobeni, two men threw stones at her vehicle and damaged the passenger window. One of them approached her and grabbed her bag, containing her cellphone, through the broken window.
On South Coast Road, Clairwood, a woman was held up at knifepoint while walking on the road on Sunday, 31 July. Two knife-wielding men approached the woman demanding her bag. They snatched it from her and tried to snatch her necklace off her neck. She screamed for help causing them to run off with just the bag which allegedly contained R13,000 in cash, her ID and other cards.

- Be alert to suspicious people/vehicles.
