Johannesburg Central – Trio Detectives need your help locating three men who they say will assist with the investigation of a current case.
According to the spokesperson of Brixton Police Station, Jeanette Backhoff, on October 3 at about 05:00 a security guard was posted at the entrance of a Brixton-based Shoprite when he saw a male, wearing a uniform that resembled that of a security guard, as he was opening doors for staff to enter. “This person wanted to get inside the shop, but the security guard blocked him and told him that the shop is not yet open.”
