Bramley SAPS wish the community a happy and safe festive season.
Captain Molefe Mogodi highlighted that the festive season was notorious for high criminal activity.
“Christmas for many people is an opportunity to enjoy quality time with family and friends or going out shopping and buying gifts for our loved ones. Unfortunately, it is also a time of the year when criminals take advantage of opportunities created by our relaxed attitudes which is how we end up being victims of crime.”
