Housebreakings and the theft of motor vehicles are on the increase.<\/p>\n

This is according to the Primrose CPF.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

\u201cEnsure that your gate cannot be lifted off its rails – have a metal plate welded onto the top of it,\u201d said Wendy Morgan, chairman of the Primrose CPF.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlso, do not leave valuables in your vehicle.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

\u201cLock your vehicles and park them on your property where they are not visible.\u201d<\/p>\n

Morgan added that CPF patrollers have noticed that residents have been leaving their front doors and their security gates open.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis makes you extremely vulnerable,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cEnsure that your outside gates are closed and locked at night.\u201d<\/p>\n

The CPF is also selling reflective house number boards for Sectors Two and Three.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is important that your house number is visible in case of an emergency, so that you can be found quickly when you need help,\u201d Morgan said.<\/p>\n

Call 083 769 9451 for Sector Two boards and 082 963 3328 for Sector Three boards.<\/p>\n
