Press Release - SAPS National Police Day Operations 22nd January 2010 till 31st January 2010
Ever since the Cabinet approved National Police Day on 27 January 2005, the SAPS, together
with diverse communities and other stakeholders, has celebrated this day. The National Police
Day of the South African Police Service on the 27th
of January commemorates the sacrifices that
our men and women in blue have made and continue to make as they provide safety for all who
live in South Africa. During this period the SAPS also reflect on their achievements and what still
needs to be done to create safer environments for all people in South Africa.
Honeydew SAPS conducted special Crime Prevention Operations during the past week
addressing mostly TRIO crimes in the Precinct. Other units and departments who assisted during
the week’s major crime prevention clean-up included: 84 reservists from the Provincial Task
Team, 8 members and horses from the East Rand Mounted Unit, Honeydew Crime Prevention
Unit, members of Gauteng Security, 10 members from JMPD, 2 from Home Affairs, 4 members of
the Public Order Policing Services – Reaction Group.
Crimes in High Schools were also addressed on Wednesday when 115 police officers raided
certain schools in the Precinct where a strong message was relayed that there will be No-
tolerance towards crime in schools.
Friday morning (04:00) a greenbelt operation was conducted (between the Reservist Group,
Honeydew Crime Prevention, Gauteng Security and Home Affairs) focusing on problematic
greenbelts, addressing “bush sleepers”, illegal immigrants and empty houses. A total of 46 people
were arrested.
A second operation started at 10:00 between Metro and Honeydew SAPS addressing the beggars
and hawkers at the street corners and at the robot intersections. A total of 23 people were
arrested and fines issued to the value of: R13 000 for different by-law infringements.
An appeal is made to everyone to please refrain from giving the beggars food and money as they
are removed on a daily basis only to return later as they know that the people will give them food
and money. There are legal organizations that can rather be supported. It is very dangerous
especially for the children that are begging with their mothers.

Crime Brief - 26th November 2009
Herewith details regarding some of the reported incidents in the Honeydew Precinct during the past week:
Business Robberies:
The complainant was busy helping a client who wanted to buy some airtime at a business in Ruimsig.
While still busy assisting this “client” the “client” suddenly produced a firearm and demanded money. The
“client” then jumped over the counter and held up staff members demanding they hand over money from
the tills. The suspect took the money and took cell phones and personal property from the staff and fled
the scene on foot.
The complainant was inside the business, in North Riding, when he noticed a blue Camry stopping in front
of the shop. The complainant walked towards the front of the shop and then saw approximately five
suspects entering the shop. The suspects pointed the complainant and employees with firearms and
instructed them to lie down on the floor. The suspects took personal property from the complainant and
employees, laptops, handbags, jewellery and cash and fled the scene in the blue Camry.
House Robberies:
The complainant was sleeping at his residence at a Town House in Honeydew Ridge when he felt
someone touching him. He then noticed two unknown armed suspects next to him. They ordered him and
his wife to lie face down on their bed. The suspects then tied up the complainant and his wife and brought
their children to their bedroom. The suspects continued ransacking the house and took TV’s, laptops,
electrical equipment and a firearm from the complainant and fled the scene.
On Friday evening at about 20:00 the complainant was in the bathroom, at her home in Cosmo City, when
she heard someone knocking at the front door. The eight year old child opened the door and three armed
suspects stormed into the house. They ordered the complainant and the two children 8 and 2 to remain in
one room and they ransacked the house. The suspects loaded the “loot” into an unknown vehicle. They
took a microwave, kettle, DVD player, clothes etc. and fled the scene. Nobody was injured and no shot
fired.
Street Robberies:
Street Robberies are again showing an increase and the community is asked to please be very careful
when walking to and from home:

• Never overload yourself with parcels – it makes you a target
• Do not carry large sums of money
• If you are out at night, stick to well lit areas. Also try and walk in groups
• Carry your cell phone and wallet out of sight and in an inside front pocket.
At about 14:15 the complainant was on the way from the Taxi Stop at the corner of Hendrik Potgieter and
Peter Road in Ruimsig. Suddenly two unknown males with a firearm approached the complainant from
behind and pointed the firearm at her. The other suspect was armed with a knife. The one suspect
searched the complainant and the other suspect took her cell phone and wallet. The suspects then fled the
scene on foot.
On Friday evening at about 20:10 the complainant was walking down Beyers Naude Drive returning from
work when he was approached by two suspects, one armed with a firearm. The suspects demanded
money and the complainant’s cell phone. The complainant refused to hand over his cell phone and the
suspects then grabbed him searched him and forcefully took his cell phone and wallet.
A complainant was robbed of his cell phone at gunpoint by an unknown male with a firearm while walking
down Randpark Drive at about 11:16. After the robbery the suspect fled the scene on foot.
