The Shonsay manager on Lytton Street contacted VS to assist to check re 5 black gentlemen agitating to enter a flat. VS CD17 attended and requested SAPS to do a crime check on their vehicle a white flashy BMW, which was found negative (not stolen). However the five seemed suspect, the new vehicle was recently acquired but not yet paid and raised further concerns with SAPS subsequently attending to the matter. While inside the premises the manager noted to VS concerning a LDV as number plates did not match the registration disc, SAPS confirmed the vehicle, 'positive' as a stolen from the Strand. Upon CD17’s leaving the flats the manager noticed a colored male ducking over the roof of a home directly opposite the road, was challenged by VS CD17 Mr Notjee, but the assailant ducked and dived in and around the back sections of the properties down and along Wesley Street. CD17 called for further VS backups to block and cordon off the area and called for SAPS assistance as well. SAPS was there in a flash, ADT also showed and joined watchfulness. While Nortjee jumped over a front wall on Wesley where the an alarm was triggered by the assailant, SAPS and VS members saw the assailant on top of a spiked wall at the back of the Wesley/ Merrick Street corner. The very dodgy assailant was professionally commandeered down from the wall, movie style guns in hand, by SAPS Cons Pienaaar and Jacobs while being on looked by the VS members’ locals and residents and me, duly arrested, handcuffed, told his rights, searched and taken away to be charged at the Woodstock CSC. A Bigggg well done to, the once again team work, SAPS in conjunction with Vetus Schola, ADT for backup, residents on Merrick with a bag for items found in the assailant’s pockets, and a very well done to the Shonsay manager having reported and noted on all three matters. Your eyes and ears and reporting crime or suspicious behaviour in Observatory is vital to the SAPS and VS successes in combating crime in Obs.
