Arrive Alive warns fake police targeting SA homeowners

# Arrive Alive warns South Africans of criminals impersonating police officers to gain home access before robbing residents. In a recent case in KwaMashu, Durban, suspects wearing partial police uniforms claimed to search for firearms. Victims are held at gunpoint while homes are ransacked. Police urge homeowners to verify officers’ credentials before granting entry. Despite declining crime rates, SA recorded 34-thousand-631 home burglaries and over five-thousand house robberies in three months. Residents are urged to stay vigilant and report suspicious activity.
