The Diepkloof SAPS police are searching for a group of unknown people who lure Taxify driver’s right into the hands of armed robbers.
Various cases of armed robbery have been opened at the station after Taxify drivers alleged that they were requested and robbed instead.
The Communication Officer for Diepkloof SAPS, Captain Phephi Matlou-Mteto explained that the police are looking for a group of people who always request Taxifys as if they are in need of the services, but every time the Taxify arrives, the drivers get robbed at gun point instead.
Matlou-Mteto said, “Investigations are open for armed robbery cases for Taxify Drivers specifically, it is alleged that the people who are conducting these robberies are cunning and have the knowledge of how Taxify works. A fire arm was mentioned in the cases and a group of men and women are sought to help solve the armed robbery cases.”
It is alleged that one person requests for the Taxify and upon the Taxify’ arrival, an unknown woman fronts as if she is waiting for someone to leave with her in the Taxify, but while the driver is off guard, a group of men approaches and conducts the armed robbery.
The robbers fortunately have not hurt any victim yet, the communications officer explained that the men allegedly approach the driver and forcefully take all the driver’s possessions including the phone (s) and wallet before chucking the keys away for distraction before they disappear into thin air.
Captain Matlou-Mteto said, “We are appealing to the people of Diepkloof to help identify this group of people to help cease these armed robberies before they get out of hand because they have to do with a pistol.
The people who might have an idea of who the perpetrators may be can call 10 111 to make sure that the long hand of justice takes its course.
