Amid the rapid spread of the Coronavirus and bulk purchasing of hand sanitizers at leading retailers, Absolut Security made their own sanitizers to bolster precaution.

Dean Alberts from Absolut Security said, “The safety of our community is our number-one priority. We are not just excellent in catching thieves, we also care about the health of our community.”
After the handing out the sanitizers to the appreciative community members, some remaining bottles were donated to the Caxton Joburg West newsroom for their safety when they go out to cover stories.
Each team member in the newsroom received the specially made hand sanitizer, and we even had leftovers in case an employee runs out.
Our grateful branch thanked Absolut Security for the gesture.
