Klerksdorp Record, Orkney - SAPS are cleaning up criminals in Orkney.
It started early morning on February 23 with Operation Mop-Up and police officers, detectives, members of the CPF were mobilised to address the problem of drifters in the area. WO Elize van Schalkwyk said these vagrants are a big problem in town and wander from place to place, eventually committing crime.
“CPF members began monitoring these wanderers a while ago, identifying them, watching where they sleep and what they do. We also found that burglary and theft cases increased over the past weeks, with a possible link to the drifters,’’ she said.
Capt Brent Browning took command of the operation and demolished buildings, parks, abandoned houses and alleys were searched where these people sought shelter. At the end of the day, forty men between the age of 18 and 55 years old were interviewed and profiled. “Two of them were linked to three different cases of rape, housebreaking and theft,’’ Van Schalkwyk said.
Botsing by kruising: Kroegman sterf, 4 jongmense beseer
Klerksdorp Rekord, Klerksdorp - Naasbestaandes van die groep jongmense wat ernstig beseer is in ‘n botsing in die middernagtelike ure van Sondag 25 Februarie probeer nog sin maak van wat gebeur het.
Maar vir Rentia Steyn gaan niks haar seun terugbring nie. Lucas Steyn (19) het voor in die motor gesit toe dit tromp-op teen ‘n vragmotor vasjaag wat besig was om oor die kruising van Ian- en Chis Hanistaat te draai. Hy het nie die botsing oorleef nie. Videomateriaal van kringtelevisie van ‘n nabygeleë huis wys hoe die wit motor teen ‘n vinnige spoed op die kruising afpyl en in die vragmotor vasry. Dit was donker. Beurtkrag was van krag en die verkeersligte het nie gewerk nie.

Stad se polisiehoof tree af
deur Salomé Kotzé
Klerksdorp Rekord, Klerksdorp - Die laaste weke van brigadier Neville Seymour se polisieloopbaan het hy daaraan spandeer om dankie te sê.
Dankie en erkenning vir harde werk. Want dit is met ‘n hart van dankbaarheid dat Klerksdorp se stasiekommissaris op Donderdag 29 Februarie sy kantoordeur vir die laaste keer agter hom gaan toemaak.
Sy aftrede was eintlik vinniger op hom as wat hy gedink het, glimlag hy. Nie dat hy spyt is nie. Op 60 is dit tyd na ‘n loopbaan van 42 jaar in die polisie. ‘n Loopbaan wat nie altyd met rose besaai was nie, en ook maar sy dorings op die pad gehad het.
