Cape Town – The City of Cape Town’s strategic surveillance unit has recorded 6 200 incidents between January and June.
He said of those, suspected criminal acts accounted for 35.6% of all incidents detected, with 115 arrests ranging from possession of drugs and theft of motor vehicles, to breaking and entering and robbery.“Wednesday and Friday emerged as the busiest days of the week in terms of incident detection. He said it was also a reminder to the public that criminals did not operate only under the cover of darkness, but were brazen enough to go about their business during the daytime. It was therefore crucial to remain vigilant at all times.
Xolisa Pukayi, community activist and Philippi East ward committee member for safety and security, said crime would never decrease in areas such as Nyanga and Philippi because the City was not paying attention to those areas.“Philippi East police station is not fully equipped to fight against crime which is escalating on a daily basis. There is no recreational services where the young will spend their time,” he said.
