“At this stage, it is not clear whether the suspect was working alone or had help,” said communications chief Mlungisi Khumalo.
“Newcastle Township Jobs Not for Sale!”
Khumalo said the box was taken very quickly and was made at a time when security guards were taking care of an urgent matter.
A review of the security footage revealed that the man was leaving with the box.
“We would be grateful if the box was returned to us. People laugh at that, but for us it is very serious.”
The municipality is concerned that the theft could be part of a money-for-jobs scam.
The man wore a yellow mask, white hat, blue jeans, black sneakers, a gray T-shirt, and a backpack.
People with information are asked to contact the municipality or the police.
