lsies River police say there has been an increase in smash-and-grab incidents in the area. TygerBurger attended the awareness drive on Friday 13 April in which police handed out pamphlets to motorists on the corner of Owen Road and 35th Avenue. Police spokesperson, Captain Daphne O’Reilly, described the spot as one of the biggest hotspot areas in which motorists are targeted. “What I’ve noticed during this initiative is that we still see motorists speaking on their cellphones when they get to traffic lights. Their valuables are very visible. We absolutely urge people to take our advice because we have of late been getting sporadic reports of such incidents,” said O’Reilly. She explained that previously the most common time for smash-and-grab incidents was in morning and afternoon peak hours. This has however changed now as incidents occur at any time of the day. “There’s no set time anymore. We really urge people to be vigilant.

dents on the corner of Viking Way and Halt Road as well.” When asked about the worst incident reported to police, O’Reilly said a man lost his life after his vehicle was attacked. “This man stopped at a robot when his vehicle window was thrown in with a brick. We believe the driver got such a big fright, lost control of the car and ended up driving into a pole. He succumbed to his injuries.” O’Reilly offered some safety hints for motorists approaching the above-mentioned intersections: -Always be aware of your surroundings -Constantly check your side and rearview mirrors -Keep car doors locked and windows closed at busy intersections -Lock all valuables in the boot of your car -Carry pepper spray or a whistle to protect yourself -Be wary of anyone who approaches you or who is loitering near traffic lights, stop signs and parking areas Officers attached to the City’s Law Enforcement Social Housing Unit were on patrol when they spotted a suspect robbing a motorist of his cellphone on the corners of Norwood Avenue and Viking Way in the Elsies River area on Thursday 12 April. The officers gave chase and arrested a 17-year-old suspect.
