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.

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.
