Cash and laptop computers are the preferred items of criminals in Polokwane.

Snr Supt Piet Marx of the Police addressed the Polokwane Chamber of Business (PCOB) at their June 2009 meeting held at Polokwane Volkswagen and Audi on Thursday night.

The past week saw some interesting tendencies in crime in Polokwane.

During the week Faranani Estates in Bendor (see map) suffered break-ins on two consecutive nights. It appears that the burglars were mainly after clothes, jewellery, knives and possibly firearms.

We heard people talking about the possibility that it could be Zimbabweans who were after clothing and easily sold jewellery. The burglars were apparently not interested in Tv's and other electronic goods.

If your cattle or goats disappeared overnight, chances are that the police in Lebowakgomo have found them. The Lebowakgomo police arrested two suspects who were in possession of two cows (brown&black and brown & white) as well as 17 goats.
