Car owners wake up shocked in the morning to find their cars on bricks.
It happened to one car owner on Thursday, 14 November, in Khayamnandi Dispatch
At about 5am, he was preparing to leave for work when, to his shock and horror, found his new car sitting on bricks.
The mag wheels and rims were gone.
“I’m shocked because this is not what I expected. I was going to work in the morning, and finding my car without wheels broke me,” he said.
He said he’s yet to open a case.
However, he was not the only victim.
A community leader said since the beginning of this week, they’ve received complaints from eight car owners whose tyres have been stolen.
On Thursday, a group of residents went around ekasi searching for the thieves.
According to the community leader, four suspects were found and assaulted.
The tsotsis were released on a warning.
“One of them was unlucky and was captured on camera from one of the houses he stole tyres from. We’re tired of these criminals. We work hard, but they just come and take. Police arrest them, and tomorrow they’re back in the streets. We prefer to whip them up before taking them to the police,” said the community leader.
Captain Nelda Oliphant advised victims to open cases for investigations to get underway.
