South African police said some goods stolen during a recent mall robberies in Gauteng and the Western Cape have been traced to Nigeria.
According to Eyewitness News, malls and shopping centres across South Africa continue to come under attack from criminals with the two provinces the hardest hit.
Last week, at least four malls were hit in less than 24-hours in the two provinces.
In most of these robberies cellphone shops and jewellery stores have been targeted.
“With the help of all the service provides, including Vodacom, MTN, Telkom, we were able to establish that once the phones have been stolen they are then activated in various countries, but majority of the activations have taken place in Nigeria.”
Meanwhile, police have revealed that they are set to release a list of affected areas, arrests and prevention strategies.
