The residents had left the premises at 19h30. The suspects ran straight to the main bedroom and stole a flat screen TV and items of clothing within 4 minutes. This particular resident had an incident approximately a year ago when exactly the same modus operandi was used and a flat screen TV was also stolen from the main bedroom. It seems very likely that the culprits knew the house and how to gain access and where to go. However the report below from Jonathan Hobday (Mowbray CPF) is very concerning : "The "Plasma Gang" struck seven times in one night this week - snatching flat-screen TVs from homes in the Mowbray, Rondebosch and Claremont police precincts. The raids were carried out on Friday night, apparently by the same gang and reportedly driving a dark-coloured VW Golf (a four-door, late-90s, Mark-I model), with the registration number CA 497-977. They hit three homes in Mowbray/Rosebank/Park Estate - at Roseland Road, Richmond Road and Alma Road. They also took plasma-TVs from a home in Rondebosch and two homes in Claremont on the same night. Police warn people to ensure that their TV sets are not visible from the street; they also advise people who have recently bought TVs not to leave the discarded boxes visible. With the spike in house breakings in the Southern Suburbs, one hopes it will never happen to you. - We would, however, suggest that you make a list of the make, model and serial numbers of electrical appliances and other valuable equipment. This information is always useful for investigation purposes. Take photocopies of all your bank and other cards and the telephone numbers to call in the event of having to cancel your cards. This will speed up the process. - When last did you TEST your alarm ? - Are all outside lights working properly and are your bushes trimmed to avoid hiding places for criminals ? - Ensure that you reduce your front door time delays for your alarm to the minimum. The longer it takes for your alarm to activate the more time the criminals have inside your home. - Set time aside to assess the current security measures you have in place and look for any weaknesses and easy access to your property. Consider installing garden beams, which means your alarm will be activated before anyone can get to your front door or gain access .
