Robbers target plush Sandton SaturdayStar
Johannesburg - Michelle Smith* and her family were unwinding at their home near Fourways after a busy day on February 20.
Her husband has made a full recovery and the family are determined to “stay in the country and make a difference” following their ordeal. “They find the weak link in the neighbour’s security system and then use that house to get into the house they plan on robbing,” said Snyman. Snyman said it was easy for the group to get into these areas to observe houses because of the high rate of construction in the area and the number of casual labourers who flock to the suburb seeking work.He said they also used construction equipment such as ladders and scaffolding to get over walls during their robberies.
“Once the suspects are arrested they will be profiled to establish if they have been involved in any other crimes.”
