Residents warned about rise in house robberies NCEBA DLADLA

ESIDENTS in the policing area of the KwaZakhele station, are being warned about an increase in house robberies.
According to police spokesperson Warrant Officer Thembi Gwe, police have noticed an increase in house robbery cases reported in KwaZakhele and Zwide townships in Port Elizabeth in the recent past. Without giving numbers, the police spokesperson said members of the South African Police Service would like to urge members of the public, especially in Salamntu, Qeqe and Tonjeni Streets to take precautionary measures to enable police to prevent the robberies. “We need the public’s assistance. They must make sure that they lock their gates early at night and we encourage them to invest in strong burglar doors and strong wooden doors,” said Gwe, adding that residents with sliding doors should ensure that they have burglar proofing as well. W/O Gwe urged community members, in the event of a house robbery, to report the case as quickly as possible and to make sure that they gave police as much information as possible whilst the incident was fresh and

could be followed up. Gwe said giving the police information such as a description of the clothes the suspect was wearing or what type of getaway vehicle was used, can assist police. People must ensure that they have the serial numbers of their possessions as well as IM-
EI number of their cell phones to give to the police in the event of theft. “We’d also like to know whether the suspect was armed with firearms or knives during the robberies,” said W/O Gwe. She urged community members to form neighbourhood watches and work in tandem
with the police to look after their properties. This was very important, she said. “Community members must make sure that they have the contact number of their sector managers. They should also call 10 111 to report a crime,” said W/O Gwe.
