SAPS in conjunction with Honeydew CPF and local security companies drove a massive crime awareness campaign at various intersections in the Honeydew sector.
Dozens of security and SAPS vehicles were seen at intersections such as Cascades and Hendrick Potgeiter roads, Fredenharry Road and the Clearwater Mall/Makro intersection.
Each officer or volunteer was armed with a pack of pamphlets to hand to the motorists on 6 April. The pamphlets entailed detailed tips and information pertaining to crime prevention especially in regards to theft out of vehicles and theft of vehicles, also break-ins at residential homes.Today’s campaign is one of many they have done in the area to promote proactive safety against crime in the community.
