Vehicle crimes on the increase UD REPORTER
P
OLICE in KwaNobuhle, Uitenhage and Kamesh have raised concerns regarding the sudden increase in vehicle crimes in their respective policing precincts. “It appears that in KwaNobuhle and Kamesh, vehicle owners are getting hijacked in their driveways at home,” said police spokesperson Lt Col Priscilla Naidu. Reports regarding the modus operandi of hijackers indicated that suspects, usually 3 to 4 men, will knock on the door of a house and when it is opened, they rush in brandishing firearms. Occupants are held at gunpoint and only the vehicle keys are taken. “Volkswagen vehicles, especially Polo’s are mostly targeted.” Vehicle owners/drivers are urged to take note of their surroundings.

home to anyone, especially late at night. Many people watch television between 18:00 and 20:00 and most of the times, the doors are closed but not locked.” Never leave valuable items in your vehicle and park your vehicle as close as possible to the house or in the garage. Lock the vehicle and activate the alarm, even if you leave the vehicle for a short period! “When activating the alarm, physically inspect to see that the doors have been locked as thieves are using remotes to deactivate alarms. When you activate the alarm, the thief immediately presses another remote and unlocks the vehicle. “This trend is in operation at parking areas of shopping centres in Uitenhage,” said Lt Col Naidy. Police appeal to the public to take the necessary precautions in safeguarding their possessions and assist them by being proactive and alert.
