Thieves ransack home Syndicate active in certain neighbourhoods Marti Will
‘A syndicate concentrating on housebreakins involving safes and loose pieces of jewellery, is targeting houses in Welkom.’
IT is becoming apparent that a syndicate concentrating on house-breakins involving safes and loose pieces of jewellery, is targeting houses in St Helena, Jan Celliers Park, Jim Fouché and Flamingo Park in Welkom. The worst-hit roads in St Helena are concentrated in the vicinity of the Parkland area and include Mt Frere Road and Kok Street. Other areas include Mikro Avenue (Jim Fouché Park), Packer Street (Jan Celliers) and Harmony Way (Flamingo Park). The thefts are taking place when residents are at work, or in town or even away for the weekend. In a recent incident Kobus De la Guerre, who resides in Mt Frere Road, and his wife, Manuela, had gone to the monthly Welkom flea market. De la Guerre is employed by the Lejweleputswa Health Department and was inspecting food stalls. His wife normally stays at home when he performs this duty, but on this day she chose to accompany
him. “Thank goodness, who knows what could have happened if she was alone at home,” says De la Guerre. The perpetrators jumped over his front wall and entered the house through the side sliding doors. They drugged his Labrador. His other dog was in the backyard and not harmed. They then proceeded through the house and opened the front door and the front gate. The perpetrators removed the safe, with all of its contents. “The safe is big and heavy. It takes four adult men to carry it. They cut it out of the wall. They also ransacked the bedrooms and removed jewellery from the cupboards and dressers. “They actually removed the small wooden drawers out of the dressing tables and took these with them. We were left with gaping holes in our antique furniture. They destroyed a lot of the furniture. They also took a small cash box containing my Mandela coin collection. “They left me one coin on the dresser. The collection contained every kind of coin that has been minted to commemorate Madiba,” he says. The safe contained many family heirlooms and expensive jewellery. “My wife’s family comes from Portugal and Europe. Most of her jewellery pieces are antique.” The missing pieces include a rare Buleva watch, a Rotary watch, an antique earring and pendant set, cufflinks and a pink and blue antique butterfly broach. “They were definitely watching us. They committed the crime between 10:00 and 12:30. My wife was with me, and my daughter, who also lives with us, was in Bloemfontein at the time. There are always people loitering in the Parkland area watching every move of the people who live here. Most of the houses which are targeted are near Parklands,” he says.
