It is often stated that desperate times call for tight measures.
A Durban couple literally took that narrative a bit too personal after they were busted live on CCTV stealing.
As if that was not enough, the couple is believed to be behind a string of robberies. They allegedly target service stations.
According to footage from a CCTV camera, at one the woman is seen lining the pockets of her pants with what appears to be medication.
While she is doing this, the man pretends to be looking at items on the store shelves so as not to raise any suspicions. The woman appears to place items inside her pants before they both casually walk out. They did not pay for the items.
Upon review, it was realised that this is the modus operandi that the couple uses to steal from unsuspecting service stations.
Police spokesperson Lt-Col Nqobile Gwala confirmed a case of theft had been opened against them at Wentworth SAPS.
Investigations are continuing and police are appealing to those who might have any information that could lead to the capture of the couple to contact 10111.
