Happening in Protea Glen Ext 13 right now, residents are stopping cars that are passing with looted goods. I'm witnessing a bakkie being offloaded now.
@City_Press Once the cars are offloaded, the owners are asked to park on the side of the road and police are called to arrest them. One resident said they are helping the cops. So far 5 people have been arrested.

Another shopping complex is being looted in Protea Glen, it's 2 minutes away from the Protea Glen Mall. The looting, this time, is happening in full view of the police.
@City_Press The people have ransacked the Boxer supermarket, Fair Price and they are now inside the Boxer liquor store. People are passing with trollies full of groceries right next to the police & no action is been taken.

At Protea Glen people have broken down this gate to access the butchery which also sells groceries. Among the looters are young kids
@City_Press I have seen several people emerging from the store with this. People are coming with trolleys to put in groceries @City_Press
