Latest Crime Trick in South Africa...
(this is a copy-paste)
Please be warned!
It was on Highveld Stereo one afternoon and it has happened to the folks
that phoned in on the radio.
Folks, please beware of the following that has been happening in Guateng,
and given crime trends will be hitting Cape Town next!
Over the past couple of weeks there have been reportings of a sick form
of hijacking and robbery.
Basically what happens is that the mother of a school-going child
is called at work and told that her child has had an accident in
the play ground; she is told that it is an emergency and that she
must rather come to school immediately. When she arrives at the
school, she is awaited by a well-dressed man and woman OUTSIDE the
school premises. They advise her at the entrance that her child
has been taken to hospital and they have been waiting for her.
They offer to take her in their car but also suggest they go
together in hers. When she opts to go with them, they rob her in the
vehicle, take her car keys, throw her from the car and return to the
school site to steal her car.
Should she take her car, they join her and rob her of her vehicle.
Folks, these criminals are impeccably dressed, and appear very
Concerned and anxious to help the parent.
Naturally, the mothers are in such a state that they are vulnerable to
any kind of suggestion.
This has now happened to 4 women, all from the Germiston area.
Please warn all mums at work to check back with the school should
they get such emergency calls. These calls can so easily be bogus.
