Police urge public vigilance and cooperation
The police in Sebokeng are appealing to all community members to take safety precautions during this season. This follows a noticeable increase in house robberies, kidnappings, and armed robberies. Station Commander Brigadier Thembekile Kubone is urging residents to remain alert at all times and to avoid sharing personal financial details or their daily movements in public. According to Kubone, doing so may put individuals at greater risk, as criminals often use this information to plan their attacks. According to the police, criminals are constantly changing their modus operandi. 'Recently, criminals have been targeting homes where cars are parked outside while people are gathering, households with pensioners expecting payouts, individuals awaiting Road Accident Fund payments, and families who have recently suffered the loss of a loved one. 'In these cases, victims are often forced to download banking apps, and funeral or insurance payouts are then fraudulently transferred to unknown accounts.' The police encourage anyone in danger to shout for help, blow a whistle if possible, and contact police in Sebokeng immediately on 016 466 2047, 082 498 9563, 112, 10111, 08600 10111, or via MySAPS App., national emergency lines, or the MySAPS mobile app. Kubone urges members of the community to stay cautious and work together with the police to help prevent crime during this challenging time.
