He appealed to the community of Attridgeville to alert the police and their neighborhood watch by sounding the whistles when they see the alleged suspects.
The community is urged to call 10111 or call the station directly on 012 384 1101. A sector vehicle can be contacted on 071 675 6434/35
The Station Commander would, however, like to advise the Community not to approach the alleged suspects as they are armed and dangerous.
