There were three smash-and-grabs in the Primrose area in one day.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe SAPS are warning that smash-and-grabs are on the increase in the area,\u201d said Wendy Morgan, chairman of the Primrose CPF.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

It has been reported that mostly female victims have been targeted at intersections on Pretoria Road, Stanley Road, Main Reef Road, Lower Main Reef Road and Shamrock Road.<\/p>\n

\u201cPlease be very vigilant on these roads, particularly on corners and at intersections,\u201d said Morgan.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

\u201cWe also advise that you keep your window open 5cm, as a closed window is easier to break.\u201d<\/p>\n

Morgan further advised commuters to lock their valuables in the boot and to keep their cellphones and wallets out of sight when travelling.<\/p>\n

”Be aware of your surroundings and don\u2019t play on your phone as soon as you stop; if there is nothing to see to steal, you can avoid being a victim,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
