“A white BMW using blue police lights, a silver BMW with occupants impersonating JMPD officers, a white Toyota Corolla, a blue 1400 Nissan bakkie and a white Golf 7 are all using blue lights. The registration numbers of these vehicles are unknown at this stage. None of the abovementioned vehicles are police vehicles but the occupants are pretending to be police and Metro Police officers in order to rob their victims,” said Khumalo.
“We encourage the community to call the police when they notice any of these suspicious vehicles. They should also not stop but preferably drive to the nearest police station,” she concluded.
