BRITS POS – BRITS - The South African Police Service (SAPS) management in North West would like to assure motorists that the police are working with other external role players and partners, including private security companies to prevent and combat spiking incidents and any other criminal activities that occur on the N4 Bakwena road, especially in the Bojanala Platinum Sub-District 1: Brits.
As part of addressing the situation, various actions are being executed including regular deployments along the affected road. It has also been noted that some of these incidents are not reported to the police. While the incidents are traumatic, motorists or victims are advised to report the incidents to the police as soon as possible. This can also be done by calling the SAPS Crime Stop number - 08600 10111.
“Please note that the information circulated on social media platforms that the N12 in the Dr Kenneth Kaunda District is a hotspot is not true, as no record of incidents was recorded. At this stage, we have no record of incidents reported between Potchefstroom and Klerksdorp. Although proactive information exchange is key to warn motorists and other road users about their safety, individuals and groups are requested to avoid communicating unverified and misleading information,” says Brigadier Sabata Mokgwabone, SAPS North West spokesperson.
