Wardens, patrollers issue warning to criminals in Randfontein
Senior police officials say they will target and tackle problematic areas where crime is concerned across Randfontein and its surrounds.
Crime prevention wardens along with patrollers from the Randfontein Police braved the cold and hit the streets of Randfontein and its surrounding areas on Wednesday, May 16 to send a message that they are here to fight crime.
This comes after having a massive parade at the Randfontein Police Station in preparation to tackle criminal elements going forward.
Vispol senior commander Lieutenant Colonel George Mamohe spoke at the parade and said that they will target and tackle problematic areas where crime is concerned.
“We intend to flood the town with our presence but crime especially at malls is of great concern as criminals are repeatedly taking advantage of people by robbing them during the day. As a result, we have instructed members to monitor the situation at Village Square Mall and Station Mall both in the CBD.
“Members will also be deployed to the Spar on Main Reef Road because it has come to our attention that there are people stealing batteries at the parking slots in that area. A person will park their car and when they come back, their battery is gone,” said Mamohe.
