Other incidents included four break-ins, two thefts, a robbery, a vehicle theft and trespassing.
EPR Security’s General Manager, Johan Krogh added, “We remain on high alert and request residents to remain calm but vigilant. It is clear that the increased visibility of the police, Community Policing Forms and security companies due to the potential unrest in the area led to a decrease in crime.”
