Dear Residents,
Let’s start with some good news from SAPS Claremont.
Response times for complaints remain 100% under the target time of 15mins from a call received to a SAPS van arriving on the scene.
There has been a decrease in common robbery from last year. Common robbery is the unlawful and intentional forceful removal and appropriation of movable, tangible property belonging to another.
Note: The decisive factor is the use of force or violence.
This was attributed to the excellent work done by the Crime Prevention Unit (CPU).
A large number of dangerous weapons and housebreaking implements were confiscated during last year, coupled with a 200% increase in arrests for possession of stolen goods / housebreaking implements.
| NB: As we head into Autumn and longer dark hours…Please make sure your street lights are working out of load shedding times! If they are not, please report them to the City on the eservices site below. If they do not respond, please send me an email with your reference numbers to follow up! You can also use eservices to log broken or missing street signs, potholes, or broken pavements, dislodged paving stones or a road in need of resurfacing, dumping, litter, squatting and more. https://eservices1.capetown.gov.za/coct/wapl/zsreq_app/index.html Also remember to test that your alarms and beams are working. Har-Lyn Neighbourhood watch does incredible work for our Community and they are looking for patrollers. Without them looking out for us we would have a lot more crime in our area. It really does help if more eyes are out there keeping us safe. They would like you to sign up for a patrol a week (which is only 2 hours), but whatever you can offer would be welcomed. Donations are awesome too. www.harlynwatch.org.za Please keep recycling or start this week if you haven’t begun yet! |
