💨 Abstract

In South Africa, three targeted break-ins have resulted in the theft of racing pigeons, raising suspicions of a criminal syndicate. In the latest incident, 48 pigeons were stolen from Niezaam Jappie's loft in Sidwell, Eastern Cape. The thieves, who seemed knowledgeable about racing pigeons, disabled the alarm and surveillance cameras. This is the third such incident in three months, with previous thefts in Valleisig and Kariega.
