Radio Procedure Sleep Channels

Channel 2 Sector sleep channels are reserved for sleep purposes only. The only announcements allowed on channel 2 are "Positive / confirmed incidents of a criminal nature". Announcements should be short and to the point with affected parties moving directly to Channel 1 after the announcement allowing those not affected to doze on. Obviously sectors will need to do occasional Channel 2 radio checks for maintenance purposes. When doing maintenance checks please start by making sure Channel 4 is clear.

Sector radio checks throughout the valley must be held on Channel 4 after ascertaining that the channel is not in use.

Fifteen minutes are allocated to each Block for evening radio checks. Blocks 1, 3, 4 and 5 do not currently do radio checks. Time slots will be allocated to these Blocks when they feel the need.

Tuesday Incidents

16h10 TOOV at 1# Wood Rd, Scott Estate.

Beware from a Northshore resident:

On Saturday (23^rd) around midday 2 Charlie females arrived by car at our complex main gate and talked their way in under the pretext of looking for a place to rent. Once inside they managed to persuade one of the residents to let them inside her apartment by way of a ruse whereby one of them claimed to be pregnant and urgently needed a toilet. While she disappeared upstairs the other one said she was thirsty and was taken to the kitchen where she received a glass of water (thus effectively splitting up).

Because the toilet visitor took a long time the resident became suspicious and herded them both out of the premises. Once they had gone the resident discovered that cash and jewellery (sentimental value) had been taken and went to the police station to report it.

Apart from being aware of this modus operandi ourselves it is recommended to make your staff/family aware also.

Lara Lost

We are still trying to assist a HB family whose Collie has been missing since Sunday 17.05.09.

I (BeachMandy)personally almost caught the dog in my road on Friday mornign when it wriggled free & Rob Patterson stumbled across it yesterday in the reeds.

The 10 year old dog LARA is very thin, weak and seems to be in shock as it is not responding to the owner’s calling it for hours almost daily in the reeds.

The dog is brown and white, very tall and slender > like in the movie “Lassie”.

Armed Robberies From Our Neighbours

This from our neighbours in Constantia / Tokai.

Title: Armed robbery in Dreyersdal
Item Text:

This is scary stuff! Please be reminded to be VERY CAREFUL when returning home - in the instance reported below, the resident was cautious, is a very regular patroller, but still he was fooled by these very smart operators!

It is a case of if there is any vehicle in sight when approaching your home, make sure that you are not being followed before entering your property - drive past and around the neighborhood if in any doubt - one has to be extra cautious with such persons of serious ill intent in the area at this time.

This is one of a few reports of armed robbery in local areas in the last little while - this report comes to us from BKMWatch (Bergvliet Kreupelbosch Meadowridge).



"Incident Type: Robbery - General Aggravated

Date and Time: 2009/05/15 09:00:00 PM

Location: Zomerlust Road, Zone: Dreyersdal - Area 2

Resident was arriving home from airport. As he (with family) got to driveway gate he noted a metallic blue sedan hatchback behind him. Sensing something he stopped before his gates. The car with a CY registration went past. He thought it was continuing so he opened his driveway gates and drove in. As his gates were closing, 3 armed black males all dressed in black ran through and up his driveway. They aggressively held guns to his families heads and demanded to go into the house. Once inside they were made to lie down while the thieves helped themselves to cell phones, lap tops, TV and more. It appeared that they were in the house for approx 15 minutes. During this time they appeared very professional, in that they were at first aggressive, then calming, ending up seemingly polite. They then left - no shots fired and no injuries. SAPS, ADT and patrollers were very quick to respond both to the premises and to search all surrounding areas and key exit points from the suburb. However the thieves were not found. The family was very traumatised and counselers were immediately made available. What is unbelievable is the thieves' brazeness in that there were several SAPS Kirstenhof vehicles out doing visible policing in the area - 1 had driven past an adjacent road minutes before and was in the immediate area when the incident occurred. An ADT response vehicle was in the road behind the residence when the incident hapened. Yet - through the thieves' professionalism and speed of operation, no one saw a thing. "
