The Vispol commander of Reiger Park Captain Muziwakhe Lucas Nkwanyana said contact crime cases have dropped in the first quarter of this year, compared to last year, in Reiger Park.
Reiger Park's Warrant Officer Samuel Botha and Vispol commander Captain Muziwakhe Lucas Nkwanyana.
Nkwanyana said although the cases have dropped, the problem of residents reporting crimes and then withdrawing the charges persists. “Most contact crimes happen at home and among families. They are categorised as domestic violence, assault, robbery, sexual offences, attempted murder, murder and GBV. Very often, these contact crimes are committed by people under the influence of drugs or alcohol, which they procure from illegal shebeens and drug dealers.
Warrant Officer Samuel Botha said they are also doing crime prevention awareness campaigns weekly to help curb crime.
