Fidelity ADT warns PTA businesses of Robberies

Business owners are advised to be on high alert when transporting or carrying valuables such as cash, electronics, and other fast-moving goods.

Fidelity ADT has recently issued a warning to all businesses in the metro to exercise caution as business robberies increase.

Business owners were advised to be on high alert when transporting or carrying valuables such as cash, electronics, and other fast-moving goods.

Fidelity ADT regional manager Leon Muller says that the increase in armed business robberies is occurring specifically around Centurion, Pretoria Central, and Pretoria West.

“We are seeing an increase in business robberies, particularly at retail outlets like fast food outlets and garage shops, which are easily accessible. Business owners need to be vigilant, make sure their CCTV is working, and remain vigilant for any suspicious activity,” Muller said.

“We recommend at least two staff members must always carry hidden panic buttons. Visitors to these outlets must also be especially vigilant. Generally, the suspects are after the till money and not out to rob the customers, but it is still a high alert situation.”
