Fish Hoek Police 021-784-2700 - Clovelly NW 082-782-6333Attached are photos and text relating to two recent incidents – the one a break-in in Kommetjie Road on Saturday around midday and the other a theft of a car in the early hours of Sunday morning. NWs assisted in both incidents and, in the break-in, the owner gave chase and managed to get the backpack in which the stolen items were stowed. Continue reading Two new incidents A man rented a room from a couple who have a house near the bible college, Kalk Bay, and left in the early hours of the morning without paying rent. They have since found other people in Muizenberg to whom he did the same thing. His name is Paul and he is short, about 1.55m tall (about 5’2″). He is “white”, blond with blue eyes and stutters. He said he was travelling in South Africa but had been living in the USA, just here for the sea and sun. At first he paid, then said he would be paying as soon as a client paid, and gave a hammock-chair (which he makes for a living) as a sign of good faith. He then disappeared. The couple say they would like others to be aware of this man. Sometime late on Sunday night/early hours of Monday morning (noticed at around 4.30am), some yobbo sprayed graffiti across the front of the sub-station. Within a couple of hours of daylight, it was painted over again by an anonymous resident. A big thank you to whoever you are. Continue reading Thanks to Anonymous The picture attached is of the young guy who stole a copper pipe off the wall of Tudor House in Simonstown Road on Thursday 18 Feb. A motorist saw this and told Tudor house. A radio call was put out and several NWs responded. He was chased along the railway line and other patrollers waited at strategic points, finally stopping the guy. SAPS came and arrested him. Some of you might have been caught in the traffic jam on Tuesday. There had been an accident on Ou Kaapse Weg and this blocked up all the roads out of Fish Hoek/ Simon’s Town. A security company’s vehicle has spilt diesel on the road and a 29-year-old woman skidded 70m before crashing into the truck. She died later. We are still not getting crime info at the weekly joint meetings, hence the relative paucity of information. We do know that housebreakings remain relatively high at eight for the week ending Thursday morning, plus two business break-ins, making a total of 10 for the week. Silverglades had two (including one assault). The Victorian Times was broken into again and had liquor stolen. Most crime took place on Friday with four break-ins (Beach Rd, Noordhoek, Evergreen Lane and The Glen, Silverglades, and 10th Ave, Fish Hoek, where NWs and police made an arrest. (Also on the 12th, there was a theft out of a motor vehicle). Other break-ins we know of were in Vancouver Crescent, Capri, Holly Close and Jacaranda Close, Faerie Knowe. In Simonstown Road, a handbag was stolen from a house through an open window. Continue reading Crime in General in the Valley Law enforcement point out there is an influx of street people into Fish Hoek and Simon’s Town. Please send your observations to them via e-mail for their attention: send to Leon.McDuling@capetown.gov.za. Inspector McDuling also thanked the NWs for the work they did, especially on the beach area. Judging from the Kalk Bay and St James NW, there has been a lot of movement in the Main Road area near Wooleys Pool, crimes big and small. The railway line is used as a convenient escape route. This was used by a “coloured” man after a Saturday midnight break-in to a lounge where he stole a laptop. There have also been thefts of brass doorknobs and the like and rifling through cars and stealing parts from cars. Those of you with businesses should watch out for a “white burly middle-aged man with wavy greying light brown, medium-length hair” with a face scarred from acne. He went into a Fish Hoek shop and bought a small item, paying with R200. He then asked for a R100 note in exchange for a R20 note and slipped in a R200 note, which the shop pointed out and returned. And so the swopping of money continued, mainly dealing with a R200 figure. All the time he was friendly, polite and well-spoken, but managed to confuse the assistant. He left the shop in a run-down Bantam bakkie (colour unspecified) with another man driving. When the assistant cashed up, she found she was R200 short. Two burglars made a very big mistake by breaking into the house belonging to a local policeman’s family in 10th Ave today, Friday 12 Feb, late morning. The call was put out and NWs formed a cordon around the perimeter where the guys were last seen. The police (satisfyingly, the one whose family was affected) arrested the two whose photos are attached. Continue reading 10th ave burglar |
