Almost a year after a Kariega resident was ambushed and killed in his Strelitzia Park home, a police officer has been arrested in connection with the murder.
Another Kariega couple were robbed of their valuables and even meat from their freezer when they became the latest victims in a recent spate of house robberies in the small town.
In one of two similar house robberies in Kariega during the early hours of Friday, a 36-year-old father was shot dead in front of his wife and 14-year-old son during a terrifying ordeal.
The emergence of the Balaclava Gang, Panga Gang and now the Quantum Gang signifies a disturbing trend in Nelson Mandela Bay where organised robbery syndicates are growing more audacious.
