BRITS POS – BRITS - The Insurance Crime Bureau (ICB) has warned of a drastic spike in vehicle thefts across Gauteng, particularly in the Pretoria and East Rand areas, targeting elderly female shoppers.
The suspects, typically operating in groups of three comprising one female and two males, use distraction tactics to steal car keys from these unsuspecting victims before making off with their vehicle from the parking area.
The ICB has reviewed camera footage showing that these criminals tend to go for older females who put their handbags and car keys in the upper section of the shopping trolley.
