House robbed twice, days apart

Warning: five suspects travelling in two vehicles are monitoring houses in Wentworth Park.

A family from Wentworth Park is living in fear after their property had been broken into twice in a matter of days.

The resident provided the News with footage from their CCTV cameras outside their home showing five men breaking into their property – twice.

The video footage shows the group of suspects driving up and down the street in a maroon BMW. The property they targeted is across from an open veld and the railway line.

The resident told the News the suspects gained entry to her property on 11 May by forcing open the back gate and breaking into their flat.

Days later, on 20 May, the group of suspects struck again, but this time they came in a bakkie.

The footage shows how the bakkie with the same individuals reversed into the property and started loading items onto the back.

The resident warned residents in her area about the incident and fear they may strike again.
