NELSON Mandela Bay has experienced one of the lowest festive season crime levels in history, thanks to the high visibility of police and security company officers.
POLICING authorities in Nelson Mandela Bay have warned residents to brace themselves for a crime wave during the festive season as burglars and robbers seek to make off with year-end bonus gifts bought over the Christmas and New Year periods.
A GANG consisting of no fewer than eight members are safe and sound behind bars after they bullied residents in the Lorraine and Charlo areas for two weekends in a row.
DESPITE the fact that our head of police, Bheki Cele, states crime figures are coming down, the man in the street generally does not feel this is the case. Too often we are faced with minor burglaries, vandalism or robbery that is not reported.
A gang of house robbers who have been terrorising Nelson Mandela Bay residents in the past three weeks, tying them up and urinating on them while hurling racist slurs, have been arrested in a three-day sting operation.
