Police looking for bogus meter readers

Bogus meter readers in suites robbed a Malvern woman.

Cleveland SAPS is looking for this man and his accomplices following a house robbery in Malvern on August 5 after 9am.

Cleveland SAPS communications officer, Constable Mpho Mashakane, said three men wearing suits, pretended to be meter readers.

“They rang the intercom at the gate. The owner went to check who was there. Three men wearing suits told her that they were there to read the meter. She opened the gate for them.

“When they were inside, one of them pointed a firearm at her. They tied her hands with shoelaces and took electrical appliances before they fled the scene,” Const Mashakane said.

She said if anyone has information that can lead to the arrest of these men, phone Detective Constable Mpho Malatji on 084 078 5584.
