It is reported that the suspects will ask what security company the resident belongs to.

How many televisions are in the house?

If there is a swimming pool on the premises?

And finally, how many people are staying in the house?

“None of these questions will be asked when collecting information for Stats SA, therefore we suspect the suspects may be casing the houses for crimes like house robbery or house break-ins,” said Maome.

If you have any information on the suspect or have been approached call the nearest police station or contact the Primrose police on 011 842 0522 or 071 675 6864/5/6/7/8/9.
