The members also claim that criminals here threaten and rob customers who visit the two stores. It was further claimed that the criminals often pose as car guards or legitimate job-seekers who sit on the corners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the criminals who loiter in the area have also been found in possession of dangerous weapons, the neighbourhood watch said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kobus Schietekat, regional asset protection manager for Builders Western Cape, responded recently to the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are aware of concerns about crime in the Klipkop area and have raised these concerns in our regular meetings with the local police senior management for action by the South African Police Service. We are also aware of threats that have been made to security and have tasked our security service provider with developing a credible response to urgently combat this,\u201d Schietekat says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The neighbourhood watch indicated last time that they will be handing over a memorandum to the City of Cape Town to request that they assist with closing the parking
