Security guard strike blamed for rising crime

It’s been reported that crime is rising while the security guard strike drags on beyond two months. Senior police officers have told the Sunday Independent the upsurge in house break-ins cause them to believe criminals are taking advantage of the situation. It’s understood there has also been a rise in attacks in shopping centres. The strike has seen high levels of intimidation and at least 25 deaths. It is suspected that several people who have been killed on trains were working guards targeted by their striking colleagues. Last week, union leaders told demonstrating guards in Johannesburg that a meeting this Wednesday could result in a breakthrough.
