On Monday SAPS Diepriver under Warrant Officer Chetty recovered the 'black Renault Clio" which was sought in the southern suburbs for a spate of robberies and other crimes. 3 arrests have been made, including the well known Ringuest have been detained. Both the car and the suspects have been thoroughly scrutinized by detectives and forensics. *CRIME UPDATE : *Since my last News Flash 3 days ago another two incidents have occurred in the RCID area, both in Bonair Road. *COMMON THEFT : 16th MAY at 17h32 : BONAIR ROAD *Suspect gained access by jumping over a wall and a hosepipe and gas bottle were stolen. *HOUSEBREAKING & THEFT : 16th MAY at 19h21: BONAIR ROAD *A hand bag, containing money, credit cards, and a license were reported stolen when a suspect gained access via a window. Looking back on the crimes committed this month (4 x common thefts, 3 housebreakings and 1 trespassing) it is noted that incidents of "nasty" crime has decreased but the surge of "poverty driven" crime is very troubling i.e. gas bottles, hosepipe, dirt bins and toilet (from vacant plot) have been stolen. This emphasises the fact that suspects are on foot and on the look out for opportunities to commit a burglary. Too often, as is the case in the RCID at the moment, we come across incidents that could have been *PREVENTED* if alarms had been activated, windows and doors had been closed or valuables NOT left in your vehicle. The number of gates and garage doors reported being LEFT OPEN by the ADT patrol officers have increased significantly lately *AS SOON AS WE DROP OUR GUARD* *AN INCIDENT WILL OCCUR AS WE ARE CONSTANTLY BEING WATCHED BY THE CRIMINALS* *IT CAN HAPPEN TO YOU !* *Your security is only as strong as your weakest link.* *REPORT SUSPICIOUS CARS IN THE AREA* - take note of the colour and registration number and who is in or around the car. *REPORT SUSPICIOUS PEOPLE IN THE AREA* - try to notice any distinctive features and what they were wearing *PHONE THE RCID COMMUNICATIONS HUB ON 086 000 6423 / 086 000 RCID* ** *RONDEBOSCH SAPS LANDLINE (021- 685-7345) HAS BEEN RESTORED .* R egards *Shirley Aldum * *RCID Manager Cell: 072 348 2008* *Together we make Rondebosch safer * * ------------------------------ Committee members: Rowan Gordon (Chair), Roddy Mills, Mohammed Saith, Shaun Woodman, Bill Sewell, Andrew Stegmann, Colin Morris * Send email to RCID if you do not wish to receive these notices<[email protected]?subject=Unsubscribe> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Observatory Neighbourhood watch" group.
