Smash-and-grabs on the rise in Fourways

Fourways police have warned motorists to be cautious following an attempted smash-and-grab.

Douglasdale police spokesperson Captain Mpho Kgasoane said with the number of smash and grabs in the area, the Douglasdale police have advised community members to be vigilant when driving in and around the Fourways area, Fourways Review reported.

This comes after community member Romy Meurer posted on the “I love Fourways Facebook” page sharing her recent horrific smash-and-grab ordeal.

Meurer said: “This happened while I was driving on Main Road at the intersection, just beyond Witkoppen Road, travelling towards Bryanston, away from Lonehil.”

She added she was incredibly thankful for the anti-smash-and-grab film on her window, which prevented the suspect from gaining entry into her car.

“I am sharing this so that community members can be vigilant when driving alone at night, and if they do not have a smash and grab on their windows, I advise that they should get it; they won’t be sorry,” Meurer concluded.

Kgasoane advised community members to be vigilant and alert when driving or stopping at intersections.
