Durban - Two brothers, who were allegedly the kingpins in a syndicate ransacking unoccupied homes in uMhlanga and surrounding upmarket areas, before using fraudulent means to sell the properties, were arrested last week.
Paul Chetty and his brother Samuel Pragasam were arrested after they allegedly raided a fully-furnished house in Windsor Avenue, uMhlanga, and said to be worth R12.5 million.
Apart from removing expensive furniture and fittings from the unoccupied house, the brothers also helped themselves to a BMW 650i parked in the garage.
Investigators believe the syndicate is also linked to other similar raids of pricey houses in the area.
