Police are hard on crime


 Mabopane SAPS had a significant success in fighting crime, their operations in the area led to several arrests.
Fourteen people in possession of dagga were arrested, assault with intend to grievous bodily harm were nine, road traffic offenders were fifteen, business robbery five, drunken driving three, theft six and house breaking five.

According to the station spokesperson Lieutenant Dikatso Thebe the numbers are low compared to previous months. “if we can always get help from community policing forums and street patrollers we can fight the crime” Thebe said. She also emphasized that community members should not have fear to report any criminal activities they encounter. The Station is planning to hold different awareness campaigns very soon. It will   involve parents and children, to highlight different social ills such as alcohol abuse among the youth and abandoning of infants.
