“So far none of the houses were broken into after the theft of the gate motors. We are not yet sure as to what the criminals use them for. Police investigations are still continuing in this matter,” said Sgt Cynthia Mbokodo spokesperson of White River Police.
On a separate note, Mbokodo warns hikers to be extra vigilant. “We had five cases of robbery reported in October alone. This happened after people who hiked between Mbombela and White River were robbed of their belongings after being pointed with a firearm before reaching their destinations. We request the public to use public transport to avoid being victims,” she added.
