Hello all, Vetus Schola can not be everywhere. Neither can ADT. Or SAPS. Prioritise your high risk areas and deploy your resources accordingly. Station Road and Scott Road have high volumes of pedestrian traffic, in both directions, morning and evening. So does Trill Road. Close the Wrensch Road subway. Mend the fences along one side of the railway line. Crime in this suburb can be managed and defeated. Have you planned an offensive against crime? Set up some roadblocks, with the help of SAPS. BG
