* IPSS Security reported two break-ins on Monday night, a business break-in and a residential break-in. Suspects drove off in a maroon BMW on M4 south bound after allegedly firing several shots at IPSS officers. Police patrolled the M4 through to Durban but the suspects got away.
Due to renovations only one phone line is working for the charge office. Colonel Dieter Fittkaue urged residents to be patient and call back if the line is busy. The police urged residents and holidaymakers not to leave valuable items in their cars when they are going to the beach. They are also appealing to the business sectors to do what they can to increase security as the festive season is around the corner.
