Crime wave hits Boltonwold smallholdings
The Boltonwold smallholdings outside Meyerton suffered a wave of thefts on Sunday evening, March 17.

The Henley on Klip Community Policing Forum reports that at least two hatchbacks were stolen on Sunday night.
A vehicle was also tampered with on one of the properties, presumably in an attempt to steal it.
A local security company has the following advice:
*Make it difficult for thieves to enter your property.
*Get infrared beams (detection beams) and alarms. It will send out a warning if someone tampers with your gate motor.
*Cover your gate motor with a steel casing (theft resistant cage) and lock it to protect the gate motor.
*It is easy for thieves to push their hands through the fence and open the gate manually. Make it difficult for thieves to do so.
*With a steel cage (theft resistant cage), thieves cannot tamper with the gate motor.
*Have cameras and lights installed.
*Connect the gate motor to your home alarm.
