Strand
Card swapping criminal detained

In a recent case, ANPR cameras were triggered by a vehicle known to have been involved in card swapping crimes in the Kenilworth area in March 2026. On receiving the ANPR alert several weeks later, law enforcement moved quickly and detained the suspect along Beach Road in Strand. The suspect faces charges of Possession of Stolen Property and Possession of Device.

SIM card swapping (or SIM jacking) is a rampant cybercrime in South Africa where fraudsters trick your mobile network into transferring your number to a new SIM card. By controlling your line, they intercept One-Time PINs (OTPs) to bypass bank security and drain accounts.
If you receive any suspicious messages
Act fast: If your cellphone abruptly loses signal or displays an "SOS Only" message, immediately contact your mobile network to block your SIM card.
Never share OTPs
Report identity theft: If you have been targeted, report the incident immediately to your bank, the police (SAPS), and the South African Fraud Prevention Service

Fake firearm and drugs seized
Plumstead Cape Town

In a recent case, ANPR cameras in Diep River flagged a vehicle believed to be involved in an attempted robbery. Shortly afterwards, SAPS officers stopped the vehicle in the Plumstead area. The suspect was arrested for possession of drugs and an imitation firearm, and for armed robbery.

Imitation fi****ms are used frequently by gangs in these kinds of crimes and the charges are as serious as those for the commission of crime using real fi****ms. Always report the use of any firearm to law enforcement and get them to seize and responsibly dispose of any such fake weapons.

Sophisticated theft out of vehicle syndicate apprehended
East London

On 14 and 15 May 2026 in the East London area there was a surge in theft out of motor vehicle incidents. Guardian Defence Security (GDS) were contacted and requested to assist in the tracing of the suspects and their vehicle.

Using various techniques including the use of technology assets such as ANPR, the surveillance team established that the target vehicle was making use of multiple sets of false number plates, which GDS was able to identify.

On 16 May the target vehicle left the East London area and appeared to be en-route to KZN, presumably with a large quantity of stolen property in the vehicle.

The GDS operations team sprang into action, co-ordinating with SAPS units along the suspects’ route. After a brief car chase, the target vehicle was intercepted by SAPS Port Shepstone Highway Patrol along the N2. The vehicle was stopped and its two occupants were detained.

A search of the vehicle revealed a significant quantity of stolen property and it was found that the suspects were linked to multiple case numbers originating in the East London area.

Further investigation by the SAPS revealed that the detained suspects were part of a sophisticated theft out of motor vehicle syndicate operating out of the KZN area, with multiple additional cases having been identified in which the same suspects were involved in the commission of crime.

This was a great win for Guardian Defence Security, SAPS and ANPR tech. GDS continues in its mission to keep clients and the city safer, leaving nowhere for criminals to hide.
