Sunday morning 05:30. After two long nights of patrols we got the guys we were looking for! A NIssan Sentra with 4 occupants was seen cruising the area early this morning. They did loops around Escombe, Pineoak, Oaktree Village and when realized they were being followed they fled down Derry Street. Members on patrol chased then and they were boxed in on the bridge onto De Waal Drive. One suspect made a run for it and was caught in the bushes near by.
In their possession was allen keys (to jam a cars ignition), wheel jack, 4 wheel spanners, bricks and cement blocks and gloves.
They are now all at Cape Town Central Police Station. We will get more feedback tomorrow once the detectives have done a full investigation.
A massive thank you to the volunteers who were out this weekend - for giving of their time but most importantly of their valuable sleep! We had fantastic coverage with at times 6 vehicles patrolling the area. Some people did shifts of 6 hours!!!! Your dedication was phenomenal.
Perhaps we need to do this more often!
Thanks to Constable Wehr, Constable Sulliman and partners - you guys were AWESOME!
Next time we hope more people will join us!
