To address these concerning crime trends, officers from the Primrose Police Station and members of the Primrose SAPS Crime Prevention Youth Desk visited the area in a door-to-door awareness campaign.
“The aim of the campaign was to sensitise residents within the sector to the problem crimes,” said Sgt Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose police.
“We are still appealing to our community not to park on pavements or where vehicles are unattended.
“We urge them to invite their visitors to park inside their yards even if they are only visiting for a short period of time.”
