On Monday evening, 29 September 2025, at approximately 18:00, Ensure Security received an alert regarding an incident at a popular restaurant on Florida Road.
It was reported that a male suspect had consumed over R1500 worth of food and then refused to pay, claiming he had no money.
Ensure Security’s dedicated area vehicle was immediately dispatched. In the interim, the restaurant’s management made the suspect wash dirty dishes in the kitchen as a consequence, while awaiting the arrival of law enforcement.

A case of bilking has been officially opened.
