Cape Town police are
probing a case of a burglary at a business premises after a liquor store in
Bothasig was burgled in the early hours of Tuesday, 14 July 2020.
In his state of the
nation address on Sunday, President Cyril Ramaphosa reinstated the ban on the sale,
dispensing and distribution of alcohol with immediate effect. Ramaphosa
says the ban would assist in reducing pressure at trauma units in hospitals
across the country.
Police spokesperson,
Brigadier Novela Potelwa, said that the liquor store owner was alerted of the
incident when the alarm system went off.
‘’Preliminary reports
indicate that at 04:35 the owner of a liquor outlet located at Village Centre,
in Vryburger Drive, Bothasig, was alerted to the activation of an alarm system
by a security company on the premises.
On arrival he discovered that the security gates in front of the store
had been forcibly removed and a window next to the door was broken. A substantial
quantity of high-end liquor bottles had been stolen.’’
Potelwa added that a case
of burglary at a business premises and theft was subsequently opened by
Bothasig police.
Anyone with information
that can assist with the investigation is urged to contact Crime Stop on 0860010111.
