Gunmen Target Businesspeople In Mogoditshane

Of recent, there have been multiple shootings in Mogoditshane and Metsimotlhabe where people were robbed at gunpoint. It appears that the culprit(s) target and attack businesspeople who they follow to their homes at night where they fire warning shots and demand money. Mogoditshane police station commander, Superintendent Russ Letsebe said looking at the modus operandi of the perpetrator(s), it appears that a syndicate or one person is involved. Letsebe said the trend started last week when a bar owner of Metsimotlhabe was followed to his house after closing the drinking spot by thugs who robbed him of money amounting to P20, 000 and then fled the scene just after midnight.

The police chief said it appeared like the gunman had followed the bar owner who stays a few metres away from the bar to this house and attacked him in his house, demanding money.
