Security Overview

We have recently witnessed the most invasive burglaries ever experienced in the History of Rietvlei Park.  We've been able to share our experiences with each other through this blog and through the meeting held on 23rd November.  At the meeting we learned that this crime spree is occurring throughout the Table View area. We were fortunate to have WO Prins of the SAP and Mr R Roberts, chairman of the Neighbourhood Watch at the meeting. They gave us information that we wouldn't otherwise be privy to.  The purpose of the meeting was to share information about improving our security and more importantly to make everyone aware of our situation.

Two of the most important defence actions we as individuals can take, is this: Keep your eyes open and report anything that looks out of place to Star Armed Response 021 55 66 911. Illuminate your home at night. The better the illumination, the more difficult it is for the criminal to hide.

Security Update November 2011

We have had two more reports of burglaries in our complex.  One near Pentz drive opposite the police station, where access was gain through the patio door and security door. The break-in is believed to have occurred on Tuesday night  or early Wednesday 08-09-November. The police were called in and the investigation is underway.  The other reported break-in occurred at an end unit on the Donkin road side of the complex.  In this case, the burglars broke through the Kitchen door and security door.

The Table View Police will be talking to the Trustees about this spate of burglaries on 16-Nov-11. We have also invited Star Armed Response to this meeting. It is our intention to gain as much information as possible. We will pass on information gained via our blog.

By now owners should have realised that we need to take actions to enhance the security of our units. To owners not living in the complex, please pass on this information to your tenants.
