Residents don’t want to listen – Norkem Park SAPS

Norkem Park Police are complaining that the community is responding negatively when given safety tips for protection of their properties.

Capt Lesibana Molokomme, Norkem Park spokesman, said members of the community are not adhering to safety tips given by police.

“Police, when patrolling, find cars and motor bikes parked outside the yards, and car windows left open with valuable items visible inside. When owners are advised, most of them tell police their properties are insured and it is none of their business,” he said.

“We are saying this must come to end. We are advising reckless owners that police will take their registration details and when owners come and open cases of missing items or cars, police will give statements to their insurance, and their property might not be paid for or replaced.”

Molokomme said another challenge police were facing was doors and security doors being left open, especially at night.

“We know it is hot, but please close the security doors for safety, let’s not invite criminals into our houses,” he added.
