“The suspects, which are women in their late 20s and early 30s, are targeting older women while working in groups of two or four.
“One suspect will approach a victim and say they work at a particular shop and can get them a 50 per cent discount as they either work there or know the manager and just need a few things from you.
“After the victims hand over their belongings, they are never seen again,” says Springs police spokesperson Capt Johannes Ramphora.
