Another jewellery heist in plett
A watch worth more than R400 000 and an undisclosed amount of foreign currency were stolen during a burglary in Plettenberg Bay last week.
Police spokesperson Captain Marlene Pieterse said suspects forced a window open at a Fairways Avenue home on 6 June between 17:30 and 20:45.
“The suspects took an expensive watch, worth about R410 000, from a briefcase as well as US dollars and several Euros,” Pieterse said.
She added that the complainant had left his home during the time of the incident and made sure all the doors and windows were locked. “His alarm was also activated. When he returned home, he noticed that the doors of the cupboards inside his home were wide open.”
It is unclear how the suspects managed to enter the home without setting off the alarm. Pieterse said a case of housebreaking had been opened and police are investigating the matter.
She urged anyone with information that could assist police to contact investigating officer detective Sergeant Tokyo Gxagxisa on 044 501 1922/41 or 078 674 8466.
