According to reports, the latest statistics show that crime is decreasing from 26 cases four years ago to only three less than a month ago.

Table Mountain National Park rangers say such cases could continue to drop if tourists follow simple safety measures.

Earlier this year the place was plagued by a series of attacks which forced park authorities to use helicopters to combat crime and come up with new security plan to combat the increasing crime cases.

Rangers patrol on the area 24 hours using dogs from the Specila Dogs unit. One of the rangers Clive Morris told reports that most of the crimes occurred when people walked alone. Thus not following one of the rules that people must walk in larger groups.
