METER taxis are allegedly collaborating with housebreakers in the Empangeni area.
A warning has been issued by Empangeni SAPS for residents to be on the lookout for criminals loading stolen goods into certain meter taxis during daylight hours.
‘It appears that a gang has been using meter taxis as getaway vehicles,’ said Empangeni SAPS spokesperson, Sgt Zanele Mkhwanazi.
‘They have been targeting the suburbs of Panorama, Kildare, Grantham Park and Macekane reserve between 7am and 4.30pm.
‘The public should report any suspicious activity immediately.’
