The Herald has obtained video footage of two suspects stealing a canopy off a bakkie in broad daylight.
The incident took place on Thursday, 8 September at about 4.42pm on Main Reef Road (R28) in Randfontein.
Two suspects can be seen pulling up next to a white Ford Ranger bakkie, parked outside a business on Main Reef Road, in their own, unidentified white bakkie. The suspects proceed to get in under the canopy of the Ranger, where they begin loosening it.
Minutes go by and the suspects successfully take off the canopy and fit it onto their bakkie and drive away.
The quality of the video is such that neither the getaway vehicle nor the suspects are particularly clear, but, the two suspects appear to be two slender white males. The value of the stolen canopy is estimated at R10 000.
Police are currently searching for the suspects and urge the community to come forward with any information regarding the stolen canopy.
Residents can report information to Crime Stop on 0860 10 111 or to the Randfontein detectives on 011 278 9100.
