Police are seeking the assistance of the public in tracing two unidentified in connection with a theft case.

Police spokesperson Captain Ezra October says the suspects conned a complainant out of R20 000-00 after placing an advertisement in a Cape Town newspaper to sell his motor vehicle.

Captain October says the suspects acted as interested potential buyers and agreed that the seller hand over R20 000-00 cash as surety to complete the transaction.

“After receiving the cash the complainant was asked to drive to Cape Town CBD with one of the sellers accompanying him.

“The suspect asked him to park his car in a parking bay so that he could collect a parking disk but the suspect got out of the car and ran away,” said October.

Anyone with information that can assist the police in their investigation can contact Detective Constable Jood Tieties at Cape Town Central Police, Tel: 021 467 8081 or Cell: 076 837 5818.
