Western Cape MEC of Community Safety Dan Plato has raised concern about the office in Bishop Lavis which has seen at least five break-ins this year.

In a statement MEC Plato the office, which houses important information on investigations into organised crime, gangs and drugs, have reportedly become a hot spot for vandalism and theft, with laptops allegedly stolen from the premises.

Ministerial Spokesperson Ewald Botha said if the allegations are true MEC Plato said this poses a major security risk for the SAPS and a safety risk for community members who have been assisting police in their investigations into organised crime, gangs and drugs in the province.

Botha added that MEC Plato said this is a serious mismanagement which the Provincial SAPS heads have to account for.
