Duiker Ridge (DRRA) All quiet. Gauteng Protection is doing a great job, most residents have moved over to this service provider.
Fenns Oak – All quiet.
Sherwell Estate – All quiet. The tent at Rhema is still erected and there is a lot of litter. Cpt Lamprecht will address.
RRA – Incident of house breaking +- 04h30 in Colins while the owners where asleep in the home, intruders stole a laptop. Another incident of theft of Laptop in Farrow, intruders used a pool pole to pull a laptop through an open window.
RPRCPA – One attempt of house breaking reported, but this seemed to be a suspicious incident. There are many vacant properties in the area which are becoming problems as they are housing unwanted vagrants, etc. Dave will send a list to the chairman who will address with Cpt Lamprecht.
Dave also discussed how important communication is and how we can we improve this within our RA’s and sector to inform our members and residents so we can increase revenue into our RA’s to sustain them. E-mail communication, visible policing by your security provider, something tangible so they can see the added value they are receiving.

Bromhof – A meeting was held on Monday 9th November at the United Church in Bromhof to resurrect the Bromhof association. +- 55 people attended. A follow up meeting will be held within two week to choose the committee so they can move forward.
The area has a problem with vagrants which needs to be watched on an ongoing basis.

Eastview Estate - Two incidents where the perimeter was breached, vehicles were broken into and items from a Wendy house stolen. The electric fence needs to be upgraded and the walls made higher in areas.

Kingfisher Village – They have upgraded their electric fence and access control system. They have had no problems although vagrants are always a problem, Kowie & Baleta Streets, these homes are to be incorporated into the Summerfield Shopping Centre, and until this is done the problem of vagrants in these properties will be an ongoing issue.

San Marco – All quiet.

RRVA – Several house breakings and armed robberies were reported. They have stepped up patrols within the times of these incidents.

Sauvignon Bromhof – Nothing to report, Debbie gave her apologies.

A task team will have to be formed to run with this project and workshops held early in the year so we can conclude the outcome by 1 March 2010.
