*CRIME ALERT AND FEEDBACK*

On the afternoon on 21st September. during load shedding a resident in Kirstenhof noticed on her cameras a vehicle stop outside her neighbour's house, two individuals exited the vehicle and walked to the corner and back a few times. She thought it looked suspicious, and put it on the KCW Whatsapp group.

A patroller went by, checked the vehicle, and noticed the plates and license disk didn't match, but there was no one at the car. He looked around and spotted them exiting a house which they had broken into. He called on the Group and to Cvic for assistance while in hot persuit in his own vehicle, and after quite a chase the suspect vehicle crashed in White Road. The suspects then fled into the reeds and were caught by SSP's and Patrollers and placed under arrest.

The vehicle was stolen in a home invasion a few months ago and the same suspects attempted to break in a property in a neighboring suburb earlier in the day as well.

Load shedding slots mean increased risk, and it goes to show, if it doesn't feel right, it probably isn't, call it in to Control.

A MASSIVE thank you to all! The vigilant residents, SSPs, SAPS, Patrollers and CVIC for the team work and assistance.

Let it be known that Kirstenhof is not an area that you want to come mess around in!

Team Work makes the Dream Work!

Crime is on the increase!

Here are some stats for the month of July 2022. There have been

• 5 house break-ins
• 5 car break-ins
• 1 hijacking and another attempted hijacking
• 2 street robberies and
• 4 other theft incidents so far this month.

There have been numerous other house break-ins in neighboring areas.

As members of KCW we need to put in the hours for our own, and our communities safety.

In addition, we need to increase our patroller numbers so please recruit your friends and neighbours, every hour of patrolling makes a difference.

Thank you.

A big thank you to Fidelity ADT
Post Author:CVWAPost published:12th Jun 2020Post Category:News & Updates
As a proactive measure Fidelity ADT recently sent one of their teams (no charge) to Sondelani and CVIC (Constantia valley Information Centre).

As a safety precaution the team did a deep clean and sanitisation of the entire building, control room and all offices.

For those who do not know, besides this type of assistance from time to time, they fund:

the community radio controllers at CVIC, plus relievers when required;
the entire community radio network across the Constantia Valley utilised by volunteer patrollers, SAPS, LE and other security companies;
the annual community radio ICASA licence fees
The hosting, costs and upkeep of all the NW web sites
The ongoing support that we as a community receive from Fidelity ADT is appreciated.
