Crime Busting
Community or self-policing is an extremely effective force to beat criminal activity in the neighbourhood. Standing together in a community, being vigilant, and sharing experiences and reporting of suspicious behaviour is a great weapon against crime.
We are lucky to have an association such as LaMarg and I encourage those residents to attend the upcoming CPF meeting on Teusday. (It is held at the Sea Tides Library on the first Tuesday of every month. It starts promptly at 5 and ends and 6.00 pm.)
Reports this week:
It seems that crime is on the rise in La Mercy again, I have just heard of two incidents today and one about a week ago.
Incidents today were on Candle Glow Drive, « suspected vehicle » is a WHITE AUDI – ND 391, interesting that we observed a suspicious WHITE AUDI in the area previously with NUR plates.
Suggest we all keep a high alert again, incidents have all occured during the day, even whilst people were at home.
Thank you Sharveen.
Yesterday morning at about 4.45am a white station wagon vehicle ( not certain of model ) was outside my home ( Eden Rose Walk), as soon as I went out onto the balcony the vehicle sped off.
Thank you Mala
And I suggest that perhaps at other non-security meetings, example temple, church, or general society meetings that an announcement calling for more volunteers for our neighbourhood watch be made.
That would take some load of us and also then it may be possible to schedule more patrols.
Thank you Kiran
Please don't forget to report any incidences to Tongaat police: 032-944 9901
Opportunist’s and criminals are utilising “Spotters” during the day and night to identify easy break-in targets and/or to pick up their loot that they have hidden in bushes. Report suspicious people hanging around for no reason in residential areas, car parks or businesses and Please be on the look out for these signs and phone the Police and Armed Response.
CRIME TIPS
