“One gate-motor theft and one theft of a motor vehicle were reported in Greenhills and Helikon Park respectively, and we also attended to a very sad case of a rape in Rikasrus during the past week,” said Coetzee.
He added that the increase in crime could be expected as people are running out of food, liquor and cigarettes because of the lockdown.
