The larceny took place last Friday when “five suspects - three males and two females - visited the store situated in Kloof Street‚ Cape Town”. “Their modus operandi was for the males to obstruct the view of the cashier and placing the liquor at convenient spots where the female suspects concealed the bottles in their underwear before leaving the store‚” a police statement said. “If you recognise the suspects and can assist with their whereabouts‚ kindly contact Detective Warrant Officer Donovan de Beer on 021 4676314/5 or Crime Stop on 0860010111.” - TMG Digital..
