ANTI-HIJACK
UPDATE FOR JULY 2013
July has been a very cold month with a lot of power cuts in most areas,
some have seen as much as two a day ! This has meant that the crime rate has
increased, as a lot of backup systems for alarms etc have not had the time to
recharge and be of prime use. We all try
to understand the power shedding, not much thought goes into areas that have
had a fault and then go straight into load shedding ….. this is a double timing
for consumers, a suggestion surely should be raised on this issue? It seems to fall on deaf ears !
Robberies have occurred in many areas such as Highlands, Greendale, Town
Centre, Mount Pleasant, Msasa, Avondale, Belvedere, Milton Park, Mandara,
Westgate and Emerald Hill.
Two robbers were shot who had robbed both in Harare and Bulawayo, taking
valuables, mobiles laptops, cash ….. it is advisable not to keep a lot of cash
at home or in your premises; this is the main reason for robberies. It is to be
believed that part of this gang is still at large so please be warned. There are a large number of criminal suspects
at large due to insufficient transcribers and equipment in the courts, and the
length of time for cases to be heard, meaning a lot of suspects have jumped
bail and gone underground and are now at large. It has been confirmed that hard
core criminals are behind these armed robberies and hijackings. Reports of smash and grab still occurring,
one in the Helensvale area.
A report of a double homicide in the Gun Hill area, this is believed to
be due to a domestic dispute amongst staff.
Both suspects are wanted by Police for other reasons.
We ask you all to be vigilant, and make sure your security is being
activated even in the daytime. It seems
that break ins have occurred just before dusk and before the security systems
are in place.
There have been a few fatal accidents which have been mostly due to ‘
undue care and attention’ and disregard to the laws of the road. The standard of driving is appalling and
sadly drunk driving has claimed lives.
Talking on mobiles is an offense, please refrain from this, and if you
must use your phone have the appropriate devise fitted to your vehicle, but to
talk and drive means your concentration is not on full alert.
There has been a lot happening in July …… lets make August a happy August
……
Let’s ALL fight
this crime together - stay ALERT and
SAFE !
