Attention: Woodstock SAPS Info: ONW Google Site *Incident of Canopy theft.*
Sunday night 12 August 2012 at 23.55 my wife noticed a blue Nissan stopped in front of our house in Scott and appeared to be very odd. She then also noticed down Cook on corner of Grove a black male hovering cellular in hand,. When she told me of the suspicious situation outside I asked her to get the registration number of the vehicle asap, and I quickly got out the bath. While I was getting dressed the Nissan bakkie in the mean time started up with a bit of engine ring-gear engagement noise and drove off, through Donne, turned down Polo and drove past Cook again. Soon she then noticed a similar Nissan, but with a canopy on, coming out from Campbell, it turned up into Scott and turned to the right into the Main Road towards Mowbray. By the time I went to check in and around Grove I had thought a car radio was stolen from a maroon Polo parked in Grove, as the passenger door looked as if it was unlocked, but I was mistaken at that. As I had radioed the OPS Mobile vehicle to come and inspect, the Premier vehicle also arrived in Grove. A resident woke from the noise of the idling security vehicles, came out to enquire, and informed us that the maroon Polo's radio was stolen on a previous occasion a few weeks ago. While baffled of the reason then of the suspicious sightings noted by my wife, the resident suddenly realised that his Bantam canopy was missing. 'The penny then dropped' that his vehicle's canopy was stolen. When I informed my wife of the stolen canopy, it was clear to her in that she was rather baffled having seen the blue Nissan earlier in Scott without a canopy, and then soon afterwards with a canopy driving past our house to the Main Road. I subsequently reported the canopy theft to the the SAPS 10111 and was able to report the vehicle registration number as CA 384353 and was driven by a black male having had a black & white top with the hoody over the head , and was assisted by at least one other black male who had a blueis top also with the hoody drawn over the head. The SAPS Call Desk told me that only once the SAPS vehicle was alerted and visited the incident address, that further decision would be made to follow up on the blue Nissan details etc. In phoning our Sector One SAPS Reaction Vehicle I was informed by the personnel that they were busy with an arrest at and was at the CSC, but would visit the area asap. I left my contact details with the resident, and trusted that SAPS would've taken up on the reported incident.
