23h13 Suspects spotted on premises after a break-in on Boskykloof Rd. No response from Longkloof residents on sleep channel. Three thieves spotted fitting description of the Stonybrook thieves. Easy access along the mountain path may have been used.

Wednesday

01h32 Waterfall Lane, top of Valley. Flatscreen TV stolen (Possibly the ‘Stonybrook’ gang again preparing for 2010?)

02h47 # Bridoon Close, intruder on premises, runs off toward the mountain, no description.

02h59 Suspect detained at Legends carrying a knife.

03h57 Bokke Guard reports a suspicious white bakkie, two Charlie? Occupants rooting about in Bokkemanskloof. 04h14 Bakkie left via Main Rd.

05h15 Intruder inside house in Candlewood, Bokkemanskloof/Overkloof.

05h26 Activity (foot traffic) detected in the Bokkemanskloof Ravine heading up toward the pipetrack. Resident reports dogs were shouting earlier at 02h15.

05h41 Activity reported on the pipetrack above Overkloof. Break-in at residence above the pipetrack, intruder inside the house.

06h40 Three gunshots reported on the pipetrack above Bokkemanskloof and Hughenden. SAPS active in the area.

This may have been "Mountain Men" detaining a group moving toward IY. MM claim they were tracked from Tokai although no evidence has been presented showing they had been active in Tokai or that they were in fact actively 'tracked' on the night. MM appear to have driven to HB and staked out the path above Blue Valley Avenue. If the group were indeed returning from Tokai what bacame of the group that toured HB?.

During the night eight incidents were recorded "on air" excluding SAPS figures which are unknown. The incidents started in Stonybrook and progressed up the Valley toward Longkloof at the top of Valley Rd, then crossed the river into Overkloof and Bokkemanskloof with the last recorded incident being the intruder in the house above the pipetrack at 05h41. An hour later the "Mountain Men" and SAPS? were firing shots and detaining a group of Bravo males above Blue Valley Avenue on an established path which crosses BVA into the treeline above the pipetrack (Clay Cafe) This path is a known route. The timeline above indicates that the group detained may well have been the group that toured the valley and were returning to IY from Bokkemanskloof.

Since this arrest the pattern of break-ins and robberies that have plagued residents living on the mountain perimeter have stopped (11/05/09) indicating that the arrests have had an effect on the group that toured the Valley above directly or indirectly.
