IN light of the crime statistics being released by the South African Police Service (SAPS), RECORD reporter, Belinda Voortman asked Albertonians how crime has affected them. Riëtte Swanepoel says that in 2013 almost every single house in Olivine Street in Randhart was broken into. “While the police were investigating the double storey house on the corner, the robbers were in the house right next door.” Fiona Correia said she will never go to the police for protection. “I will rather go to a security company. After we were robbed they told me that they had murders to deal with and didn’t have time to waste.”
