Kasselman Security Services (KSS) urged residents the past week to be vigilant and alert during load-shedding.
Criminals take advantage of the fact that many alarm battery systems are not able to recharge fully. Alarms should be tested frequently.
A gate motor was stolen in Sycamore Street, Florapark during load-shedding. Solar panels were stolen in Pine Street.
