Children walking home from school must be alert and aware of their surroundings at all times.<\/p>\n
This warning comes from the Primrose CPF.<\/p>
\u201cChildren must be careful, especially on Rietfontein Road, as muggers are attacking them and stealing cellphones and bicycles,\u201d said Wendy Morgan, chairman of the CPF.<\/p>\n
\u201cRather walk along Beaconsfield Avenue and walk in groups.<\/p>
\u201cDo not walk with your cellphone in your hand or with your earphones on.\u201d<\/p>\n
The CPF is also warning residents to be extra careful when entering or leaving their properties.<\/p>\n
\u201cDo not park in the driveway while waiting for the gate to open, get someone to meet you at the gate if possible.<\/p>\n
\u201cWarn visitors to be alert and not to park their vehicles in the road, as car theft is rife in the area,\u201d said Morgan.<\/p>\n
There are volunteer patrollers in Primrose Sectors Two and Three, who are doing their best to help to keep the area safe.<\/p>\n
However, more are needed in the fight against crime.<\/p>\n
To join the CPF patrollers call Dennis Endres on 082 443 1915, and for Sector Three call Quinton Birch on 082 788 1505.<\/p>\n
The Primrose CPF is currently in need of a secretary to take minutes at meetings and volunteers can contact Morgan on 072 963 9675 if they are interested in taking up the position.<\/p>\n
Morgan added that the Primrose CPF is also calling on local businesses to get involved in the Business Against Crime Forum.<\/p>\n
To be a part of this group, which will be used for the sharing of information and issues, send an email to PrimroseSCF2@gmail.com, or to max@telkomsa.net.<\/p>\n
