CRIME REPORT:

​

• Since the police investigation into the Windhond Street fire, where one woman sadly lost her life, is still ongoing, no information about the cause is yet available.

• It is very sad that we had a second house burn down last week in Pointer Street. The cause is still unknown. The resident is a widow and was also a patroller. Many thanks to the residents of Pointer Street, ADT, Anthony, and other GarsCom members for your support and quick response.

• If you would like to contribute to the losses suffered by the residents, please contact the GarsCom control room for more information.

• No further incidents were reported in GarsCom last week.

• Please note that thieves are still stealing solar lights. Elsewhere in Garsfontein, there have been reports of this theft.

• Most incidents reported to the police occur over weekends, especially Sundays between 10h00 and 14h00. Make sure your alarm is activated when you are not at home.

• We have two opportunities to receive all GarsCom and patrol information. If you are a new resident, or if you have lived here for a long time but are not yet involved, we would be very happy to meet you and tell you about our wonderful community. Please make sure to attend one of the sessions in the GarsCom council hall:
  o Tuesday, 23 July at 18h00
  o Saturday, 27 July at 09h00
