21h30 Bokke Guards spot two suspects on the pipetrack in dark clothing.This may be connected to the 21h26 incident. The following report from BokkeJustin……………..At 21h30 on wed night Bokke guards radioed two intruders coming from 11 Fynbos - sighted on their patrol. These two bolted down Fynbos - I was just in time to see them sprinting across Blue Valley and chased them by car where we came within a few metres of them - before they fled in a wild panic into the vacant land just below Fynbos on the Meadows side. Turns out there is a clear hole cut the fence just below the gate onto the pipetrack and they must have fled through that, not without some spirited encouragement from the residents in that area, one way or another. I doubt those particular two will venture this way soon again - but best to be aware and to call any suspicious activity immediately. SAPS were on the scene remarkably quickly and then moved over too the Hughenden side to monitor further. Shortly before this Watchcon reported a break-in in Meadows, not sure which street exactly (River Walk. Ed). In fact we were responding to that issue at the time of the incident mentioned above. I am not sure if they were connected but very likely they are in my opinion - they were very much on the run. Well done to the guards for calling this promptly.

Wednesday Incidents Updated

From aDisa resident..................Intruders came onto our property last night, presumably after midnight, at Hunter's Retreat, 4459 Main Road. They broke into our stables and Tack room and removed saddles and equestrian tack. No further details available at present. Regards Disa KC.

No sign of foot traffic was found upstream of the property. It seems the thieves left the property via the fence on the Disa tributary (Western boundary), crossed the tributary onto the neighbours paddock, then down onto the river path heading downstream direction Well Way. For some reason they walked (clear footprints) on the second path below the main river path skirting the sensors placed at LD and KD. When they got close to Well Way they may have hidden the saddles in the bush alongside the river for later collection. There was extensive sign that someone had walked about in the long grass below the river path either to hide goods and or later to recover goods. I had a good look around and found nothing. The Well Way camera showed no sign of movement during the night so the entry and exit may have been via Valley Rd, again showing local knowledge.

The fact that they avoided the sensors both inbound and outbound points to grooms, friends or staff that are familiar with the sensor placement and their purpose.

04h16 Five or six suspects at Sea Harvest. DB and ADT respond. 04h43 Deep Blue and ADT work together and disperse the suspects.

06h04 Lost HBNW radio found. Seems it was left at a complainants house by a careless constable. The Hangberg resident returned it voluntarily. The abusive user was probably a family member.20h03 Watchcon. ### Empire, suspects on premises. SSP's respond.

Around 18h50 on Tuesday 26th, in Van Oudtshoorn street cnr. Armour noticed a Deep Blue guard chasing an individual who looked suspicious. Bravo male jumped into a property at the end of Van Ousthoorn Street. Suspect hiding on porch behind a pillar. Suspect idicated that he worked there.

Reporting Procedure Thanks TCNW

Procedure to be followed by SAPS in the event of a Housebreak-in / Burglary and especially important if a robbery has taken place (weapon used)

1. Once discovered, the incident must be reported to the SAPS either by phone in or by reporting at the local police station.

2. A docket must be registered and a case number given to the complainant.

3. A detective must interview the complainant, in person or by phone. The detective must supply his details at the interview.

4. The scene must be visited by the detective and an on-scene investigation must be carried out. This is to look for clues, verify and clarify the statement of complainant, interview residents, staff, neighbours, etc.

5. A fingerprint expert must attend the scene. With the new "war room" in SAPS Cape Town, priority is given to the identification of fingerprints and many suspects are now linked to crimes much faster than in the previous years.

6. Even if a complainant does not want investigation and he only reports for insurance purposes, the above must still take place. This will ensure that there is a uniformed approach to investigations of housebreak-ins / burglaries. Should any member of the public find that the procedure and follow up as set out above above is not happening, then a complaint must please be lodged with Captain Ntongana, Branch Commander - Detectives, SAPS Hout Bay via email (houtbay-saps@saps.org.za) or telephone 021-7918660 in order for him to follow up.

Sunday Incidents Updated

05h21 # Longkloof off Main rd. Resident reports intruder on the property looking around. 05h26 ADT2 on scene. 05h56 Positive break-in laptop stolen.

From a Bokkemanskloof resident:
An alarm activated in Chestnut close to Candlewood between 05h45 & 06h00. I assume no one was at home as the alarm ran it’s full cycle & then switched off. It is possible that the intruders from the above incident (Longkloof) were making their way back onto the pipetrack & tripped external sensors.

In hindsight this alarm activation should have been called into Watchcon. There is a growing need for properties to have external sensors to monitor traffic at or passing through properties
