Warrant Officer Moses Maphakela, spokesperson for the Bramley police, said the man was working at an access gate when a white Audi with three occupants drove fast towards the gate.
“He did not open for them so one of the occupants came out of the vehicle and threatened him,” explained Maphakela. The occupant who threatened the security guard wore a black jacket, long blue pants and a black cap. Maphakela said the man had a pistol and pointed it at the security guard. He also opened the gate to let the car drive in while the security guard was instructed to sit down inside the guard room. Maphakela said the suspect then disconnected the base radio, camera and the telephone. After five minutes had passed the vehicle returned and the man jumped back inside and the suspects drove off. It is unclear as to what the suspects were doing inside.
Maphakela said, “We are appealing to the community to strengthen their security and come forward if they have any information that could lead to the suspects’ arrest.”
The car’s registration number is BF82LVGP. Details: Warrant Officer Thomas Baloyo, 011-445-4171 or 072-232-2164.
