Bogus police

 Hi, Wessel Swart here, 32A Beacon. Please be on the lookout for what seems to be a police vehicle (Mazda bakkie, registration number starts with BPP ...). We had a suspicious visit by two 'policemen' about 40 minutes ago. They wanted to gain entrance to the property. They said someone reported a break in at this address. Rebekkah, Jenny's domestic also confirmed that everything is OK here. They wanted to know details like who is in charge, etc. Apparently they know that Jenny is overseas.

 It was dark outside the gate and I see poorly at night - but at first they looked like the real deal, but something told me to watch out.

I asked for their police IDs and the plain clothes guy presented me with an ID that looked authentic - but it all happened so quickly I can't remember the name.

Because of my poor eyesight I couldn't see the police car clearly. Rebekkah Rampoko, Jenny's domestic overseeing while Jenny is not here  was talking to them her native in a black language. I could see she was also very nervous and didn't want to let them in. They kept insisting that they wanted to come in and I asked if they have a court order (that's what they normally do in the movies, right?). The 'detective' then backed off. I asked them to wait, I just want to go back into the house (to get a pen to write down the details.

When I got back they were gone. I called 10111 and talked to the REAL police. I described the car and the guys. They emediately said we have to watch out, that these guys aren't real police. They said they will send a unit by... But it's been more than an hour ago, and still nothing.

We're all a bit rattled over here.
