Hi All Ricardo started coming to my house months ago collecting money for his "outreach" programme, he must have stopped by at least 3 times over the period of a month. He is a smooth talker and seemed sincere. I gave him old clothing and didn't see him again for at least 5 months until this last Friday 27 March. He stopped by to tell me that the names of all the people that had donated clothing had gone into a hat and I had won a R5000 gift card from Cavendish. His pastor would be round shortly to give me the prize. Needless to say, no pastor come, but he did arrive later with another "volunteer" a lady, and she needed the toilet very badly. Sounds like I was very close to being scammed! Thank you for warning me and making me more vigilant. If you need another witness to strengthen the case please let me know.

Yea sir, Recardo is the Recardo of the suspect released caught in the yard of a resident in Polo Road on 3 January, photo attached, then released from an incident on Robins Road a few mornings later, confirmed as the same person.

Just past midnight on Friday morning, police officers who took the statement, woke us up to come identify the suspect who was caught at the same game in Arnold Street. He matches the description of our Domestic Worker and I am sure its him. What wonderful work from Constable Thembe and his partner! I will keep you posted. Perhaps there are other people on the forum who would recognize him and add to the charges. The incident took place on Park Villa at 11h55 on Thursday 26th. The guy used my name to get into the house.. Probably got it off our mail. He said he was asked to collect something then kept hanging up when my made called me and I asked to speak to him. Really hope he gets put away for awhile. Image attached. Regards. Dan Saks >From he ONW Red Sector Patrol Group: Incidentally, the ONW carried out a patrol last night Friday 27 March 2015 from 9.30 pm by 6 patollers who split into two groups. At 22.30 the one group saw someone being chased down Arnold and into Bishop and helped to block off the suspect and immediately called the OPS Control Room to send a patrol vehicle to contain the suspect. We then learnt that the suspect, identified himself as Recardo, he then used a name of a one of the female residents, saying that he knows her, and that he needed to use their toilet, he was then let into the home. Apparently at exiting the house, the suspect grabbed a laptop and was chased by one of the male residents and thus was caught and held by OPS until SAPS was alerted. He subsequently whaled at not wanting to be arrested and had a long sob story. We then told the foreign residents, that this was typically his style and that he was released on a number of previous incidents by the home owners when he was caught by them. We guided the residents to lay a charge, when arrested, his fingerprints would be taken, and this could link him hopefully to a spate of other burglaries in Observatory.James -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- OPS [Obsid Public Safety] - 24/7 control room TEL: 021-447-1066 or 072-063-1653 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- EMERGENCIES: 10111 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ONW email: [email protected] WEB: www.obswatch.org.za FACEBOOK: facebook.com/obswatch ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Useful Obs Numbers: obs.org.za/obsdir You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups The Observatory Neighbourhood watch group.
