Surge In Vehicle Thefts Targeting Elderly Female Shoppers Across Gauteng
The Insurance Crime Bureau has seen a drastic spike in vehicle thefts across Gauteng, particularly in the Pretoria and East Rand areas, where elderly female shoppers are being targeted.
This well-coordinated modus operandi has been captured on CCTV footage, showing how the suspects deliberately bump into victims and discreetly remove keys, which are then handed off to an accomplice who quickly exits the shop.
Safer solar systems
The Consumer Goods and Services Ombud (CGSO) has issued a warning to those who already have solar systems and property owners who are considering this environmentally-friendly energy solution. It reports a rise in complaints about solar systems and generators, mirrored by insurers experiencing an increased number of claims for faulty and non-functioning solar systems.
“This could be the result of installations by unqualified and inexperienced solar installation contractors, and problems could also be caused by the use of inferior quality components that often have not been certified or don’t have proper warranties,” says Bennie Boshoff, General Manager of Safire’s Insurance Division. “It is vital to ensure that your solar system is installed by a qualified contractor who will provide you with the required Certificate of Compliance.”
