Attempted theft out of motor vehicle

May 23rd, 2016 / DPV Watch / 2016 May

Upper Buitengracht Street - Monday, at about 14:30
A resident was parked outside Hertex Fabric and sitting in her vehicle. She was aware of a car pulling up next to her and the drive went into the shop. A few seconds later the car door banged and when she looked up there was a man sitting in the car next to her. He rummaged through the back and front of the car before leaving the vehicle and getting into a metalic blue Hyundai i10.
The resident immediately alerted DPVwatch on her radio that there were remote jammers in the area and also proceeded to follow the vehicle. Other members arrived to assist. The vehicle tried to get away as SAPS arrived on the scene but both occupants were arrested. They are known remote jammers who have operated in the city previously.
Reported to SAPS
