KwaThema – The theft of a motor vehicle is being investigated after a green Ford Laser was stolen from a yard in Kotobe Street, Phase Two on Saturday evening.
It is alleged the complainant had parked his vehicle in his yard, locked all the doors and kept the keys on him.

“As the police we urge motorists to ensure they beef up on security in their homes, by putting in walls and lockable gates or parking inside locked garages.
