0h11 Attempted break-in at # Sandpiper. Beams tripped, window forced, thieves ran off into bushes. No description.
02h40 Break-in at ## Villa de Legno? Three thieves enter a bedroom window, threaten occupants with screwdrivers, one may be a female, all three reported to have their faces blacked out? last seen heading for Laurentia Way. SSP’s and SAPS respond. 02h43 SAPS report movement in Helgarda, very dark complexion wearing an orange shirt. 03h06 suspects reported to be in the reeds on Disa. 03h37 Dog squad searching reeds. 04h51 All stand down, nothing found.
From VJ: Excellent response from SAPS who called in the dog unit and asked for assistance. The wetland area was effectively closed down - ADT vehicles patrolled, Deep Blue had 3 vehicles sitting in the dark, plus 2 or 3 HBNW vehicles covering exits – all while the dog unit went through the reeds. This time they got away, but with that type of effort WE WILL catch them.
18h24 Elderly tourist couple mugged, robbed and tied up on Rocket Rd above the dunes. HBNW respond. Two knife wielding Bravo males, one taller than the other carrying a backpack in which the knives were concealed.
Comment from a resident: These muggings are getting out of hand over 15 for the month of February, this must surely be a gang of some kind, or word is getting out that this is the "easy" kind of crime happening in Hout Bay. These victims are now not only been targeted after sunset, but in broad daylight. Something has to be done... What about a sting operation where we have police or nwb posing as ordinary civilians, in order to catch these guys???? any other suggestions?
