Latest crime briefs
HONEYDEW – Crime alerts that were released by Honeydew SAPS.
Spokesperson of Honeydew SAPS Warrant Officer Karen Jacobs shares the latest crime briefs for Honeydew Police Station.
• Theft of and from motor vehicles
Due to an increase in the number of parties at present, a number of vehicles have been parked on verges outside of the property and this has resulted in an increase in the theft of motor vehicles, as well as the wheels being stolen off parked motor vehicles.
Residents are requested to park vehicles inside the premises behind closed gates and if this is not possible residents need to arrange extra security for vehicles parked on the verges.
• Street robberies
Residents who walk, jog or cycle in the early mornings and late afternoon have been asked not to wear valuable jewellery or carry expensive cellphones, as this makes them soft targets for criminals. Be aware of your surroundings at all times.
• Residential robberies
Residential robberies continue to be a problem, especially in Sector 3, mainly at townhouse complexes and this crime is mostly occurring in the early hours of the morning. Residents are once again requested to ensure that all doors, security gates are locked and the keys removed from the locks. Preferably do not leave windows open and make use of fans during this hot weather.
