Table Bay police are seeking the public’s assistance to identify three women wearing headscarves, and a man, who can help with the investigation of a R1 350 000 jewellery theft case that occurred on February 22, at the V&A Waterfront.
The heist took place after the group pretended to be customers.
Following their visit, which included fitting on various items, the shop assistant noticed that two pendants and a ring was missing to the value of R1 350 000 and alerted security.
Police have since released the women and man’s photographs, in a bid to appeal for help with the investigation.
