\u201cPolice have opened a number of smash-and-grab cases where drivers have been targeted while waiting for the traffic lights to change at the intersection,\u201d said Sgt Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose SAPS.<\/p>
\u201cSuspects will smash the vehicle\u2019s window and make off with valuable belongings like laptops, cellphones and whatever else they can help themselves to.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Primrose SAPS appeal to the community of and visitors to Primrose to make sure they do not leave valuables on their passenger seats as they are making themselves vulnerable.<\/p>
