@StouteFonzo26 responded:
“They took looong with that gate. Lenasia is now surrounded by squatter camps. So there is no surprise here.”
@PercyNSebata replied:
“SAPS members almost everywhere would rather sleep than patrol communities at night. The only time you ever see a SAPS patrol van is at the BP garage convenience shop, and back to the police station straight away.”
@BAMFBIKER commented:
“Alarm system linked to armed response? Outside beams? Electric fence linked to armed response? - Without these security measures one is extremely vulnerable to criminals. Please ensure that your property is properly secure with all the modern technology you can afford.”

Entitlement,inability to vote for change, laziness, ignorance, sometimes the inability to think into the future (think KZN looting, burning of libraries and schools, etc). Our problems are BIG and it's sad!!!”
@TheEazyEd said:
“These guys must've had information that there's something worth stealing in this house. All this effort?”
Robber found asleep in car he broke into
Meanwhile, Briefly News previously reported that South African online users were left baffled and with many questions after learning about a criminal who fell asleep on the job.
Twitter account @VehicleTrackerz shared the peculiar crime report recently, revealing that the suspect in question was apprehended after falling asleep in a car that he broke into while attempting to steal valuables from it on Monday, 14 March in Palmview.
“KZN VIP was alerted to this after the resident noticed his vehicle had broken into. The suspect was detained by KZN VIP & handed over to SAPS."
Social media was in a frenzy, with many users concluding that the car owner must have used some powerful muthi or spell to protect his precious vehicle.
