“Arrested suspects are still attending court, and the detectives are confident they will be brought to book. Members of our community are encouraged to assist the detectives with information that can lead to the successful apprehension and conviction of suspects. Any information received will be regarded as privileged and confidential,” she said.
They urge the community to play an active role in reporting crime and any suspicious behaviour to the police.
“Members of the community who may have information that can assist in solving crimes are requested to contact their local police station, Crime Stop on 08600 10111 or utilise the MYSAPS application,” said Van der Spuy.
The police also work hand-in-hand with the community policing forums and sub-forums, security companies, armed response units and neighbourhood watch groups, looking at a proactive approach to keeping the community and area safe.
