“Our fight to create a crime-free community continues and this is done in collaboration with Elsburg SAPS, EMPD, CCIN, the Elsburg CPF and local security companies. SPAR Lambton and SPAR Germiston sponsored the items for the boerewors sale,” said Lourens.

“This is an extensive project covering large areas. We call on the public and businesses to assist in whatever way to ensure this project is successful,” said Lourens.

He said one camera has been installed on Black Reef Road.

“Within a week of its installation and with the help of the SAPS we have enjoyed eight successes already.”

The event was attended by members of the Elsburg SAPS including Warrant Officer Ambrose Mofokwane and Sgt Daphney Phooko, Elsburg SAPS communications officer.

Phooko said the SAPS supports the CPF’s efforts to curb crime in the area.
