This month has seen some nasty break-ins with intent
of causing great trauma to victims, in as much as them being badly beaten. tied
up and threatened with rape. This
occurred in daylight hours and the demand was for money. The perpetrators would not accept the fact
that there was not a large sum of money on the property ….. their demand was
for a very large sum. This is a warning
to make sure that the security of locking gates and having the premises alarmed
in areas not occupied in place, be it day or night. Robberies reported in
Borrowdale, Emerald Hill, Milton Park, Belvedere, Chisipite and Avondale
The unemployment level is high and we need to be
aware at all times. Do not keep large sums of money at home, word seems to get
a round, be wise in front of staff with money do not leave it lying around …
it’s a temptation and not entirely fair.
As we head into the festive season lets ALL be sure
to have security in mind, put guards on duty if there is an event, and if cars
are not parked on the premises, this is for the safety of your guests’
vehicles. A presence is a
deterrent.
As we prepare to take some time to spend with family
and friends have the all security in place and also the safety and care of your
pets, there will be fireworks during this time and this is when pets are
terrified and go missing. This is
extremely stressful for all concerned and hopefully avoided with planning.
When travelling on the main highways and roads,
travel safe, keep to the speed limits, drive with due care and attention and let’s
keep carnage off the roads this holiday season. Make sure you have all the
requirements and documents for vehicle travel in the vehicle as there will be
checks and road blocks. Do NOT drink and
drive think of the safety of family and other road users. Only use hands off
kits to answer mobile phones when driving.
It is not safe to stop, but if this is necessary make sure the vehicle
is well off the road and not obstructing the flow of traffic. It is an offense to just stop on the road
with hazard lights flashing, to answer mobile phones etc, this is being
extremely thoughtless and careless to other road users.
Enjoy this Christmas season with security and safety
in mind ,,,,,,
Let’s
ALL fight this crime together - stay
ALERT and SAFE !
