“A modus operandi used by suspects is that motorists are approached by a group of people while stationary at a robot. The drivers are held up at knife point and cellphones or bags are demanded. SAPS urges the community and motorists to be alert at all times and to notify the police when suspecting or witnessing criminal activities such as this,” said Khomo.
