Stingaaaz

Hi All, Patty Marara is at it again selling stolen watches. Bunch of robberies past weekend, specially at the Spruit, Dawg Box. See he's got 4 new watches to sell today. Please share and if anyone can identify their stolen watch to contact police to arrest him. Police at Randburg know about him and want to arrest him https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/profile/100000762176421/?ref=permalink&tab=listings&mibextid=dXMIcH

If they both still selling then a good chance they all stolen. Definitely the ones Patty is selling are stolen from the Spruit or Fourways and surrounds. I have reported Francios profile on Facebook and going to speak to the investigating officer about if he was charged and his case. Best we can do for now is report them to other buyers to try stop their income. If anyone recognizes their watch from these guys ads then DM me and we'll set up another sting to catch them.

What could be done if someone has connected your watch with a new profile is to get the investigating officer to contact Garmin and request the information. They also stole my iphone and forced me at gunpoint to switch off Find My Phone. Was able to connect to my phone via an app and found the cell phone number that was connected to it. It's a prepaid Cell C number that is linked to a Zimbabwean passport. The person at Cell C store told me that's all the info they can give and that the investigating officer must contact Cell C head quarters for further details. Maybe we can ping the number and catch the guys who deal with the stolen phones from cyclists and runners. Have contacted Patty on Facebook to see a watch and he was quick to reply and wanted to sell. Then he blocked me. Maybe suspected something. Anyone who's watch has been stolen must watch the ads and if they see their watch then set up a meet with the investigating officer. The officer wants to get Patty but they need to catch him with the stolen goods. Pretty sure he's involved with the stolen cellphones too.

Hi All, I managed to get my watch back since the armed robbery on the spruit. Saw it being sold on Facebook Marketplace. Had the serial number to confirm it was my watch. It was being sold by Francois Bennett. Got it back with the help of the investigating officer and arrested Francois. From questioning him we found that he got my watch from a guy named Patty Marara. A Zimbabwean man who sells second hand goods and cars. The 2 guys who robbed me were also Zimbabwean. He said Patty sells 3 to 4 watches a week to him that he then resells on Facebook. Patty lives in Fourways and they either meet at Broadacres or Patty sends him the watches via Postnet. Hope this can help others and maybe open a can of worms for Patty Marara and others he deals with. There are still robberies happening on the spruit with the same 2 guys who sell the stolen goods to Patty. Attached are their Facebook profiles.
