Warrant Officer Balan Muthan, head of communications for the Douglasdale police said on the afternoon of 14 July a woman parked her car at Broadacres shopping centre. She alighted from the vehicle and went inside to do her shopping but when she returned she found that the quarter glass of her car window had been broken. The woman realised that her belongings, which were on her car seat had been taken. “The woman’s items were stolen in broad daylight but the security and car guards didn’t see a thing,” Muthan said.
He urged security personnel and car guards at shopping centres to be more vigilant as the police have seen an increase in theft out of motor vehicles in the Fourways area.
