Westville police dispel detergent scam rumours

It was suggested that the detergent products contain a substance which causes residents to lose consciousness while the men conduct a demonstration of their products.

WESTVILLE police have confirmed that a warning against Abomama products is false and residents should not be alarmed.
According to a post that went viral earlier this week, three men travelling in a red Golf 2 around the Westville area were seen selling household detergent products. It is suggested that these products contain a substance which causes residents to lose consciousness while the men conduct a demonstration of their products. The men are then said to ransack the home.
