What to do if you find yourself witnessing a cash-in-transit heist
Safety tips to follow:

When observing a cash-in-transit incident, try to put as much distance between your vehicle and the crime scene.

Do not exit your vehicle as you could get caught in the crossfire. Try to vacate the area if possible.

Never approach perpetrators of a cash-in-transit robbery, as they are armed and dangerous.

Criminals may react irrationally when seeing you. Avoid any form of eye or physical contact.

If caught in the vicinity of a cash-in-transit robbery, make sure that you do not switch off your vehicle in case you need to escape the incident. Keep your engine running at all times.

Share videos that you have taken with the authorities rather than posting them on social media. This could assist with the apprehension of criminals.

Also remember that while videos and photographs from your phone can be useful, they could put you at risk if the suspects see you filming at the time. Our advice is to be very cautious when attempting to film an incident. It could inadvertently make you a target.

Immediately notify the police. Contact the SAPS when you find yourself in a cash-in-transit heist, but remember that it is always about your safety first.

If you are at a shopping centre and witness a cross-pavement heist near an ATM, the same advice applies. If you are not in your car, keep as much distance between yourself and the perpetrators as possible. Rather lie flat on the floor to avoid being caught in the crossfire if any shots are fired. Again, notify the authorities or centre management as quickly as possible.

Smash-and-grab safety tips:

1. Close any entry point to your car:
It may seem obvious, but drivers tend to forget to check whether their doors are locked or not. Most cars today lock doors automatically when driving off, but you need to check if all windows are closed, especially when approaching an intersection or traffic light. You can leave a small gap, as it may be challenging on a hot day when you don’t have air conditioning.

2.Don’t open any door or window while stationary in your car:
It is sad to see so many people begging for food or money at traffic lights. Your human instinct tells you to help, but unfortunately this may involve a safety risk. You will have no idea if this is a genuine person in dire straits or a criminal trickster. Be wary if you decide to speak to this person especially through an open window. This could be used as a distraction to allow another person to smash a window behind you. Opening a door is even more severe as the would-be criminal can now have full access to your car.

3. Always be on the alert while driving:
You are at your most significant exposure to any danger when your car has stopped, such as at a stop sign or red traffic light. It is best to approach a red traffic light at night by travelling as slowly as possible until the light changes to green. Be alert to any strange individuals nearby who may suddenly make a move.

4.What if rocks or other obstacles are lying in the road?:
The split second you see tyres or rocks lying in the road, stop immediately and reverse as fast as you can, depending on how much traffic is behind you. Avoid navigating around any obstacles as you may seriously damage your car in the process. Worst of all, you may get stuck.

5. Leave a gap:
Remember to leave a car’s length between your vehicle and the car in front when stopping at a traffic light, which may provide you with enough space to manoeuvre your car out of trouble.

6. Remove any temptation from the car:
Anything you leave on a passenger seat is begging any would-be criminal to take it. Make it a habit to lock away your handbag, briefcase, or any valuables safely in the boot.

Electric fence checklist ✔

Homeowners can ensure their electric fence is working properly by doing the following:

1. From the start, installing the electric fence through a reputable company and having it linked to an armed response service provider for example: "SRT" so that when the fence is triggered, that our control room receives the signal immediately
2. Regularly checking that the fence is armed.
3. Checking the battery back-up is adequate to last when the power is off
4.Trimming and maintaining any foliage which could interfere with the fence and send out false alarms.
Please note that the Trees and branches overhanging a perimeter wall are easy access points for criminals too.
5.Talking to the installer about anti-lift brackets and other devices to protect the fence from being tampered with
6. Understanding the zoning of the electric fence, especially on a big property.

Perimeter protection is a homeowner’s first line of defence against criminals.

Keep yours maintained!

Once your battery dies, your alarm is then completely dead the duration of the power outage. Alarm batteries are not built to handle such frequent, long periods of dependency. They are recharged when the power is reinstated but they eventually become ‘weak’ and can cause problems such as false alarms, which puts strain on our already stretched resources.
Weak batteries need to be replaced.
If you suspect that your battery has become ‘weak’ due to irregularities with your alarm system, a replacement battery is required.

"How can I get a new alarm battery to avoid complete shutdown?" (Kindly see attached picture)
