BLUE ALERTS FOR THE UPPER HIGHWAY AREA FOR THE WEEK ENDING 10 OCTOBER 2008  

Assagay: Armed Robbery – Residential (21h13)
Client reported that 4 armed black males entered house, tied the client up and locked him in one of the rooms. The suspects then took undisclosed amount of cash and a number of household items, which were put into client’s motor vehicle. Surprisingly the suspects left without taking the vehicle.

Kloof: Armed Robbery – Residential (18h58)

A blue Toyota Tazz (NU 38170) was stolen from the school parking lot.

Kloof: Vehicle Theft – Sports Club (10h49)
A white Golf Chico (ND 371058) was stolen from the car park.

Take note of the vehicles being stolen: Golf and Tazz, these are very popular amongst car thieves. If you are going to drive the type of car that is regularly targeted by car theft syndicates ensure that you are adequately insured, or install a vehicle tracking unit.

Gillitts: House Breaking- Residential (04h27)
Reaction Officer reports that entry was gained via an open bathroom window. Client advises that the safe was removed (containing a Glock 40 firearm), a laptop and cell phone were also taken.

Is your firearm locked in your safe, which is bolted to the wall or floor in the built-in cupboard in the main bedroom (like the rest of South Africa)? Be warned, criminal practice their craft, we’re sure that have a good old giggle every time they find a safe in the same place. All it takes is a few well aimed blows of a sledge hammer and there is one more illegal fire-arm doing the rounds. Just take note of how many fire-arm related incidents occurred amongst our clients in the passed week – we’ll guarantee that all of these were stolen firearms.

Ends.
