Report crime to tip-off line
Residents are reminded to make use of the Edenvale SAPS crime tip-off line.
Edenvale SAPS partnered with the churches of Edenvale to launch the community’s own crime tip-off line recently.
This pilot project aims to give residents a direct, anonymous link to the SAPS for crime tip-offs.
The phone will be manned by two officers 24 hours a day.
Only tip-offs from Edenvale will be accepted and residents are asked not to send “please call me” messages to the number.
The Edenvale SAPS have said all tip-offs will be kept anonymous to protect whistle-blowers.
Residents who would like to submit an anonymous tip-off to the number can either phone or sms the number.
Keep in mind that information needs to be detailed and should include an address, a detailed description of the crime that is being committed as well as the time.
Where possible, also include a description of the person or persons breaking the law.
“In the event that the phone is not answered, residents are asked to leave a detailed message for the officers,” acting spokesperson for the Edenvale SAPS, Lieutenant Colonel Robbie Roberts said.
Edenvale crime tip-off number is 011 056 8886.
“Do not let the number put you off. It is in fact a cellular phone and can receive sms’,” Lt Col Roberts said.
