A notorious group of suspects who have gone on a looting spree at malls across Cape Town have finally been caught after a shootout with police in Table View on Friday.
Cape Town -
Two members of the crew, known as the “Drain Cover Gang”, will appear in court on Monday after they smashed their way into Dis-Chem at Bayside Mall and stole half a million rand’s worth of perfume. According to a source, cops across the Western Cape had been looking for the men after a spate of robberies dating back to June, in which the perpetrators used concrete drain covers to smash through glass doors to gain entry during burglaries.
“They are wanted all over and there are so many cases against them in Somerset West, Paarl, Fish Hoek and others,” says the police source. “They were dubbed the Drain Cover Gang because they use the concrete drain covers to smash through windows and doors at malls to get inside.
