Due to renovations Umhlali SAPS are temporarily relocating the charge office and as a result one phone line will be working for one week. The police urged residents and holidaymakers not to leave valuable items in their cars when they are going out the beach. They also appeal to the business sectors to do what they can to increase security as the festive season is around the corner. Contact Umhlali SAPS on 032-9479900.
