The Primrose CPF has issued the following alerts.<\/p>\n
Please take note of these problems and take preventative action.<\/p>
Be on the lookout for a white Citi Golf (registration number unknown), and a black Nissan Nivana (registration number unknown).<\/p>\n
These vehicles are allegedly used by armed men who are involved in hijackings in the area.<\/p>
They speak English and act very professionally.<\/p>\n
In the past few months there have been a number of vehicles stolen in the Primrose area.<\/p>\n
A lot of these vehicles were left parked on pavements.<\/p>\n
Wendy Morgan from the CPF said, “The SAPS members request that residents put their vehicles inside their properties.<\/p>\n
“They get sworn at and told ‘we have insurance’.<\/p>\n
“The police are just trying to do their jobs by protecting us as the community, and not encouraging criminals into the area for easy pickings – please try at all times to park your vehicles inside.”<\/p>\n
People must be careful all along Main Reef and Pretoria roads, at all the traffic lights.<\/p>\n
Do not leave any valuables, bags, laptops or cellphones lying on your car seat — this is what the smash-and-grabbers are looking for.<\/p>\n
Morgan added: “As a CPF we are trying to get more of the community involved in keeping the streets safe and the residents aware of what is going on.<\/p>\n
“We are looking for street leaders in each street — someone who is prepared to get to know everyone in the street where they live – get their information and start a “WhatsApp” group or email group to send out information.”<\/p>\n
If you are prepared to be a street leader contact Kobus van Rensburg on 083 776 5896 or Morgan on 072 963 9675 to discuss how to get the project up and running in your street.<\/p>\n
