They need to add cameras at the hotspots, I\u2019m not sure why they are not doing these things.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Heide Goodman, Muizenberg Community Policing Forum (CPF) secretary, confirmed that street robberies are currently \u201cout of control\u201d in the Muizenberg policing precinct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m aware of the incident concerning the German tourists,\u201d she said. \u201cThey haven\u2019t opened a case yet because they were hospitalised.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Goodman, there has been a rise in street robberies in Lakeside, Muizenberg, Kalk Bay and Prince George Drive. \u201cWe had a huge increase in street robberies\u2026 it is a huge concern.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Referring to previous incidents earlier this month, Goodman said two local trail runners were attacked above Boyes Drive and a second group as they were making their way up the mountain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA group of four people and two trail runners were attacked in separate incidents. The perpetrators were four young men from Capricorn, which came as a surprise.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Police are reportedly doing stop and searches in an effort to prevent street robberies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Head of SANParks communications and spokesperson JP Louw confirmed that two German tourists were mugged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSANParks is aware of the incident involving two German tourists on Kalk Bay Mountain on Thursday 21 November, near the Echo Valley area,\u201d he commented. \u201cTable Mountain National Park rangers and police responded immediately and assisted the victims. One of the victims was treated at the scene by paramedics and returned to their accommodation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Louw, measures have been put in place to reduce criminal activities on the mountain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe safety and security of our visitors remains a top priority and we have started putting in place measures that are generally showing positive results in the push against criminal activities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hikers, trail runners and tourists are encouraged to join the TBOM Table Mountain Security Alert Whatsapp group on 073 624
