The Berea CPF Executive has access to the latest Berea crime stats but does not
have "permission to distribute them".
The Berea CPF Executive may use them to get an idea of where to target our awareness. They can also use them to develop an email regarding trends
which we can circulate to our database but cannot send out the raw data.
They have all signed an agreement to this effect. To see the SAPS annually
released figures, click here.
The position as at January 2010 is that we appear to be in a phase of decline.
Housebreakings are up but still not above our peak although we will see ahat happens as the year progresses.
Blue Security stats support the distribution of crimes reported by SAPS. Housebreaking is high on their list although housebreaking business is much higher. There is a large amount of speculation that many of these cases are fraudulent insurance claims which is a waste of police time. Newsletter material.
Reports that the major access point of entry is doors and windows – think this means that these are the places that are damaged in the break-in. Message from SAPS was CLOSE AND LOCK ALL DOORS AND WINDOWS.
Most goods stolen are computer equipment and jewellery, as well as, outdoor equipment.
Our strength is that we almost have no murders or rapes. There is still the fear of firearms and the potential threat that they pose.
There certainly seems to be a reduction in robberies and hijackings during the festive season... almost as if the robbers and hijackers are also taking their annual leave and returning to their home towns to be with their families and loved ones.
It makes one think; could these criminals be amongst the student or working classes who are in Durban 9 to 5 and hijack and rob as a source of moonlight income?
We need to identify the types of businesses that shut down over this period. Certainly, we know that universities, technikons and the building industry does. Could our hijackers and robbers be amongst these classes?
Next year we need to make sure that we alert people to the decrease in hijackings in December and the sudden correction in January. This seems to happen every year.
Presently, a typically month sees crimes proportioned as follows:
- Residential, Robbery of: 2%
- Residential, Burglary of: 23%
- Muggings: 10%
- Vehicle, Hijackings of: 5%
- Vehicle, Thefts of: 24%
- Vehicle, Theft out of: 30%
- Business, Robbery of: 2%
- Business, Burglary of: 3%
- Other: 1%
