The Primrose SAPS are pleased to report that,over the festive season,housebreaking and theft incidents decreased drastically in the suburb.<\/p>\n
They are still, however, experiencing problems with theft of and theft out of motor vehicles.<\/p>
“We experienced a very quiet festive season, except in regard to the theft of and the theft out of motor vehicles.<\/p>\n
“These two crimes increased during this time,” said Const Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose SAPS.<\/p>
Maome told the GCN that,in order for the police to be able to combat these crimes effectively,the community needs to come on board and assist them.<\/p>\n
“We have been going around checking and taking photographs of vehicles which have been left on the streets.<\/p>\n
“There were so many that we found nearly every street had one or two vehicles left unattended on them,” he said.<\/p>\n
“As police we are trying our best, but our community is letting us down.<\/p>\n
“The community must also inform their visitors about the theft of motor vehicles in the area and let them park inside their properties when they come to visit.<\/p>\n
“We will keep on working hard to overcome these challenges.”<\/p>\n
The community is urged to contact the sector vehicles if they notice any suspicious movements in their streets.<\/p>\n
