Hi all I have enquired concerning the incident on all sides and have taken up some matters with SAPS Woodstock.
Always remember please, if you were affected by crime, please report this to SAPS, to VS, and also on this site ONW Google site, else directly to me. This is our only way of dealing and attending to crime, or potentially reducing crime, and as wanting to keep on top of things happening in Observatory. Don't moan if you did not report, inform, request, insist, or enquire concerning a matter of crime in Observatory. Try always to take down as much info concerning the actual crime, the reported incident details, who reported to and what the outcome. Thanks if you do.
