Hallo Yesterday from 12h30 there was a guy sitting in our bar area. He was here till 15h35. Nothing about his behaviour led us to believe that he was dodgy.
He was well dressed - Camel coloured Chinos, collared shirt and a black hip length zip-up leather jacket mandarin collar. Dark African dood looked about 30 years old. Height about 1.8m tall. He ordered a Castle Larger and said he was waiting for some people to meet him. He was on his mobile a lot and at about 13h00 2 girls came in to meet him - looked like an interview or something. Still nothing suspect. They left and at about 14h00 2 other girls came in and a bit later they left. He hung around still on his mobile and every now and again he would go outside as if looking for someone. Those last 2 girls came back and they chatted together for a long time. He left and got some documents and about 5 minutes later left to get something else from his car. He never returned. The girls waited in vain. Eventually left. He left a Tab of R74. The girls came back with SAP at about 16h25 and told their story and wanted to see some footage of the guy. (Andrew will post a photo of him in a bit) His scam - He said he was an Estate/Letting Agent and he was recruiting cleaning staff for some beach front apartments. He had printer copies of the interior of some apartments - looked like Table View area. He told them to each give him R570 for their uniforms. Which these poor little girls did! He left shortly thereafter. They tried calling him when he didn't return but his phone was off. I looked at the Parking lot footage this morning to see if he was parked there, but no, he walked through to the spar alley and I haven't managed to see their footage to see if he went in or just walked through. He had car keys with him which he kept on a lanyard around his neck. Only looking through the hours of footage did I pick up his behaviour.
