Bruwer family Centurion robbed twice by 'well-informed armed men in SAPS uniforms'

2010-09-28 Seugnet Esterhuyse of Beeld newspaper reports that the Bruwer-family was robbed twice within a week at their Highveld, Centurion home - by 'robbers in police uniforms'. And events during the second robbery indicates that the Lyttleton SAPS may be closely involved in the robberies, said the family.

André Bruwer (53) said his wife Laurenza, 51 and daughter Luandri, 20, were home alone on Sunday - a week after the family had been robbed after they had forgotten to turn on their burglar-alarms. During the first robbery, a TV-set, sound-system, cellphone, laptop computer and safe were looted.

Mr Bruwer said when he submitted this information to the SAPS at Lyttleton station, he also volunteered the information that the robbers had 'left behind valuable items including a second safe- and that they planned to install security cameras soon."

On Sunday, with the two women alone at home, 'two black men in police uniforms' came knocking at their front door, claiming that they were 'investigating the house-robbery'; that they had 'arrested three suspects'; and that they 'wanted more information'.

•Mrs Bruwer invited them in - and one man immediately pointed a gun to her head, and three more armed black men, all in police uniforms, then walked in. One demanded to have the 'code to the second safe' and demanded to know 'where the security cameras' video-materials were located'.
