Well-structured OVM3701 Assignment 1 (ANSWERS) Semester 2 2023 - DISTINCTION GUARANTEED. (DETAILED ANSWERS - DISTINCTION GUARANTEED!). Case study Five trucks were torched in KwaZulu-Natal and Limpopo. This brings to 16 the number of trucks set alight between 7 and 11 July 2023. All the drivers were robbed. The number of trucks that have been destroyed in arson attacks in the past three days has risen to 16 after five more were set alight in KwaZulu-Natal and Limpopo. Eleven were torched over the weekend – six in KwaZulu-Natal on Saturday and five in Mpumalanga on Sunday night. Allegations were that truck drivers were attacked and robbed before two trucks were set alight. It is alleged that the incident took place shortly before 22:00 while the drivers were in a queue on the N2. The men were forced out of the trucks before the trucks were set alight. Police are investigating a case of armed robbery, malicious damage to property and attempted murder. On the same day, three trucks were torched in Limpopo (McCain,2023). Against this background, critically discuss modus operandi of the criminals in the above case study and the trademarks that form part of a criminal’s modus operandi. In your answer, indicate the value of modus operandi information in a particular crime and show how you, as investigator, might use this information to trace the criminal.
