Hi Allison It was confirmed via OPS that they did come out to your property re the resident burglary incident. As SAPS was already busy with you inside the property they did not intervene thus you did not notice them being there. I did convey a reply to you thus am surprised at your comment re VS. If we call back the past, kindly consider if OPS was not in Obs at all, what then? Kind regards James
