Dear Sandy The ONW noted your concerns. I will forward this email both to SAPS and VS representatives hereby. I will also have it discussed at the Police Joints meeting next Tuesday. We discussed somewhat concerning Oxford road at the OBSID Crime meeting yesterday and will bring it up at our next meeting with OBSID. I will also raise it at the Police meeting with the public to be held tonight at 6 pm at the Observatory Community centre tonight, and would be better if you could have raised it there yourself with the Police Colonel Ntsezo who called for the meeting re concerns that SAPS have regarding Obs. the meeting was as advertised in the People's Post on Monday by SAPS. Kindly convey any other bits of info that may lead to finding the perpetrators etc. Regards James
