Similar to the incident reported in Fairfield Rd on Friday, on the Hartleyvale side of the railway there have been a number of break-ins in the early hours of the morning while the residents were home.
- On Thursday 15th October there was a break-in at 4 Lynton Rd, opposite the railway station, at 4:30am. The residents were locked in the bathroom. Apparently the neighbouring house had been burgled that week. - On Sunday 18th October there was an attempted break-in at a house in Strubens Rd near Lower Wrensch, around 3am, again while the residents were home. The intruders were extremely aggressive and persistent, breaking through gates and shutter, despite the residents fighting them off and shouting that the police were coming. - Break-in at 1a/b Perth Rd on Thursday 22nd October. - There's been other evidence of other attempted break-ins during the night: damaged burglar bars at a property in Lower Wrensch, a broken trellis and footprints at a property in Low Street, etc. Obviously this is a scary turn in the criminals' tactics. I'm sure Constable Berry is working on catching these guys, assuming it's just one group. But would it be possible to ask SAPS to deploy extra vehicles in our area for a month or two, especially at night? -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- OPS [Obsid Public Safety] - 24/7 control room TEL: 021-447-1066 or 072-063-1653 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- EMERGENCIES: 10111 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ONW email: [email protected] WEB: www.obswatch.org.za FACEBOOK: facebook.com/obswatch ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Useful Obs Numbers: obs.org.za/obsdir You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups The Observatory Neighbourhood watch group.
