Boksburg North SAPS spokesperson Juanita Coetzer said people should write these numbers down and place them in their homes, or store them on their cellphones.
“Callers can remain anonymous on all the crime line numbers when reporting a crime. Please be the eyes and ears of our police service.
“Children must also be advised that they must stay close to adults, or walk in groups together. When walking home they must not take short routes close to open spaces, or through the veld, where they can be robbed.
“Children walking alone opens up an opportunity for criminals, especially when they walk the same route every day”, Coetzer said.
She advised parents to take responsibility in making their children aware of the dangers that they might encounter.
