Car remote jammers arrested
A major car remote jamming syndicate, believed to be one of the originators of jamming in KZN, has been taken off the streets following investigations by Enforce Security private investigators.
The four men have been carrying out the crimes for years and were arrested last week while jamming and breaking into vehicles in the Durban CBD.
Enforce Head of Investigations, Nico Potgieter, said the four men had been operating in the Palm Boulevard (Gateway) area, and once they had been identified as possible jamming suspects, their identities and vehicle information were circulated by Enforce investigators to Enforce Security guards, Business against Crime, and the SAPS.
"Our guards observed them for about half an hour but they realised they were being watched and so left the area. However, because we had passed on their information to the SAPS, police officers in town caught them in the act just a few hours later."
Potgieter said the arrests came very quickly after Enforce circulated the information and that it was a result of good communication and team work between all crime fighting units.
