CRIME AWARENESS TIPS IN GREATER SEA POINT AREA

SEA POINT SAPS – The management on Sea Point SAPS wants to encourage the community and visitors to our awesome area to be aware of the following matters that could assist in not becoming a victim of crime.
The area has become more attractive due to the summer that has arrived and big events which are being held in our area, which we are great full for. Crime with respect to robberies and theft out of motor vehicles has shown an increase.

We still find vehicles that are parked, having valuables visible inside the vehicle, parked in the streets. Valuables should be taken inside with you at all times. Also be aware of the fact that when you stop and then only put the attractive belongings in the boot, you are still at risk of your vehicle being broken into because ‘someone’ is watching you at all times.

Our robberies have also shown increase due to visitors and community members frequenting the wonderful promenade for walks and restaurants for which Sea Point area in known for. However, community members and visitors are requested to not walk alone wherever possible. Leave your most expensive jewellery at home if possible when going for a fresh air walk.

Be aware of your surroundings and let fellow visitors and or family know of your actions and times.
Sea Point SAPS is committed to serve this community and continue a 24/7 crime prevention approach to keep the Sea Point area safe at all times.
