A number of Din-Al-View CPF members took a swipe against crime, last Sunday morning.<\/p>\n

They went into action, chopping down the reeds at the Wits Rifles off-ramp to the N17 highway.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

The chairman of the Din-Al-View CPF, Jean Ingram, said that for far too long motorists, using this off-ramp, have been attacked by smash-and-grabbers and it is becoming a real problem.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey hide against the barriers, smash-and-grab motorists and then disappear into the reeds below,\u201d Ingram said.<\/p>

\u201cAs a first step, we intend cutting down all the reeds thus eliminating the hiding place.<\/p>\n

\u201cNext, we plan on approaching both the metro and the N17 toll company to switch on street lights at the intersection.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Din-Al-View CPF thanks its members and sponsors, especially Merv’s Hardware which sponsored slashers and pangas, and Alberton Hardware which sponsored protective gloves.<\/p>\n

\u201cThanks also go to those who brought much-needed refreshments,\u201d Ingram said.<\/p>\n
