Dear Sir,
During the past few days, there have been at least three incidents involving hold-ups in our streets and/or attempts at forced house-entry. On two of these incidents, the escaping criminals fled to a vehicle waiting some 50-odd metres away on the street corner. The vehicle had a yellow taxi sign.

These occasions were reported, but being a report after the event, it is difficult for any follow up to be effective.
The area where these incidents occurred is in Suiderhof, and quite close to the few shops there. The timing of these attacks on people/property was daytime, more the middle of the day than the earlier or later times when there are more people mobile. These were targeting individual or the presumed unattended homes.
These incidents surely indicate a degree of organization involving a dedicated criminal element, involving an organized transport facility.
The writer feels people should be warned and, likely, this type of crime can spread into other quiet daytime suburbs.
Concerned resident,
Windhoek
