Reckless and negligent drivers be aware, in the past week 33 drivers were arrested amongst 57 law offenders. The offences ranged from driving without a seatbelt to skipping a red light or a stop sign.
The arrests included assault, robbery, shoplifting, public drinking and illegal trading amongst others. The police are approaching crime with an iron fist and can use help from the community to help make Tzaneen a crime free area. Although most of the offences are related to the contravention of the road traffic Act, it is advised for law offenders to be aware of their actions and the implications of those actions.
Although crime statistics show that the rate of crime has dropped by 16.4 percent, crime is still an issue in most of the areas around Tzaneen. Assault and rape cases are still being hid from the police by parents and/or the victims themselves. The police edge all community members to be active in doing away with crime.
