Hi Alison, Indeed sorry to read about your mishaps and the delay by OPS to contact you.
However I did in fact overhear the OPS radio conversion and can confirm that they where at your premises but as the SAPS were already attending stood down. I personally appreciate you always reporting incidents and play a pivotal role in speaking your mind.
