They have also identified some of the suspects in those cases by means of CCTV footage from the ATMs where they withdrew money from their victims’ accounts. Police hope that the owner of the taxi will be able to help them identify the driver of the taxi that is being linked to the four-hour rape ordeal a woman went through on Sunday (19 March). She was picked up on Ontdekkers Road by a white Toyota Quantum with three occupants who robbed and raped her. Her 10-year-old son witnessed the whole ordeal.

Several other victims of similar incidents have now come forward. A Radio 702 listener even claimed that he was aware of nine rapes that had taken place in one day. Various taxi organisations have vowed to assist the police in catching the rapists.
