Gotcha you SOB

7 November 2015 By Alan Straton

One week ago two miscreants stole three CCTV cameras from the perimeter of a Newton Park business. At the time MyPE called one of them out as a Car Guard. (See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DIc1_HVNqY)

Do you recognise this man?
Do you recognise this man?

At 05:11 this morning (Saturday 7 November 2015) the more brazen of the two popped back to steal more CCTV Cameras. BUT, he had obviously been smoking too much ‘pappegaai twak” (dagga to you!) as one can clearly see his grinning face in the video.

According to the law this particular fargface is a Car Guard at the Newton Park Fruit and Veg and is well known as one who is not averse to breaking the law to feed his habit.

It has been known that these addicts will steal CCTV Cameras and do a trade deal with their dealers – a camera for some dope. How stupid is that? Protect your illegal business with stolen goods!

It would appear that this particular past-time is on the increase – drive around Newton Park and observe how many CCTV cameras now reside ‘behind bars’.
