Cape MEC of Community Safety Dan Plato has called for greater cooperation in
addressing the recent spate of mall robberies in the province.
Over
the weekend a shop in Canal Walk was robbed and on Tuesday a store in High
Constantia Shopping Centre was robbed, no suspects have been arrested.
MEC
Plato said a new strategy will help curb mall robberies.
Ministerial
Spokesperson Ewald Botha said as
part of the Western Cape Government’s oversight role over policing in the
province, Minister Plato will continue to monitor the effectiveness of any
strategy to keep shoppers in the province safe.
“He
also extend an open invitation to the SAPS, SACSC, retail owners and industry role-players
to include the Department of Community Safety so that we can assist where
possible.” Botha added.
