Pretoria North police embark on a safety campaign
"During the operation, we managed to issue four traffic fines, two people were arrest for possession of drugs and one suspect was arrested for theft."
Pretoria North police visited communities in Bon-Accord, Onderstepoort and Haakdoringboom on Thursday, to educate them about how to prevent house robbery-related crimes.
Police spokesperson Sergeant Tsakani Miyen said residents of those areas were advised not to keep large amounts of cash at home, join active CPF WhatsApp groups, or to invent a whistleblowing strategy for the community to know there is a problem and to report any suspicious people or acts of violence to the police.
“The campaign further aimed to inculcate safety tips. During the operation we managed to issue four traffic fines, two people were arrest for possession of drugs and one suspect was arrested for theft.”
Miyen said police also searched 17 vehicles and 54 people and distributed 300 pamphlets.
