Smash and grabs are on the rise in South Africa. Hijackings and smash-and-grabs are an unfortunate reality in South Africa.
The City of Cape Town said, that the following six intersections were smash-and-grab hotspots:
• Intersections along Jakes Gerwel Drive
• Stellenbosch Arterial Road and Adam Tas Road
• Robert Sobukwe Road and 35th Avenue
• 35th Avenue and Bishop Lavis Drive
• Owen Street and 35th Avenue
• On the Atlantis MyCiTi route
Being aware of one’s surroundings is key to protecting yourself at intersections.“Being on your cellphone, adjusting the radio or infotainment system, or even just daydreaming automatically makes you a target. At intersections, criminals scout for easy targets. Paying attention to people alongside the road and to your surroundings makes you less of a target,”
BE SAFE AND ALERT AT ALL TIMES
