Shocking Footage: Four Armed Robbers Hit Multiple Engen Garages in Gauteng!
Yusuf Abramjee, a prominent South African anti-crime activist, has issued a BOLO (Be On the Look Out) alert for four armed suspects who have recently targeted Engen garages in Gauteng’s East Rand. These robberies occurred over a span of 48 hours, taking advantage of late-night shifts amid a national fuel shortage.
Surveillance footage from the incidents shows masked men wearing hoodies arriving in a silver sedan, brandishing firearms at petrol attendants during heavy rain. The suspects confront the staff, jump over counters to access cash, and flee the scenes without facing any resistance, indicating a clear tactical approach to their crimes.
Public reaction has been one of alarm, with widespread concern over the unarrested perpetrators and the perceived slow response from the South African Police Service (SAPS). This reflects ongoing challenges in high-crime areas like Kempton Park and Benoni, where robbery incidents have increased by 15% year-over-year according to 2025 police statistics. The rising crime rates in these regions call for urgent attention to improve safety and security for local residents.
As the community remains vigilant, Abramjee’s alert serves as a reminder of the need for increased awareness and action against violent crime in South Africa. Residents are encouraged to report any suspicious activity to help prevent further incidents and support law enforcement efforts.
