The person who requests the Ubers under the moniker Sello gets in the car and pulls out the gun before being joined by his accomplices for the robberies.
Ubers drivers were tricked and robbed at day light around Diepkloof Extension and Diepkloof Zone Four, however, Captain Matlou-Mteto said, “We are urging all the Uber drivers to be aware of these robberies that take place around Diepkloof and to try by all means to avoid being robbed further.”
The number of robbed Ubers keeps going up and the police’s concern keeps growing because these robberies are happening at gun point.
