Die meeste inwoners van Vredenburg w\u00e9\u00e9t \u2026 jy gaan lol nie by Frick Naaimasjiene naby die taxi-staanplek se erf nie, want die honde is kwaai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Al vir die afgelope 40 jaar is di\u00e9 onderneming op die perseel op die hoek van Plein- en Langstraat in Vredenburg se sakekern n\u00ed\u00e9 \u2019n plek waar skoorsoekers en kansvatters hulle sommer wil bevind nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2019n Jong inbreker wat verlede Donderdag 27 Julie glo in die einste erf wou gaan \u201cwegkruip\u201d, het ongelukkig terde\u00eb besef waaroor die waarskuwing gaan toe hy verlede Donderdagnag oor die hoek van die hemelho\u00eb heining geklim het. Hy het net n\u00e1 18:00 die aand die donkerste hoek, wat grens aan \u2019n kerk, gekies om die eiendom te betree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die Frick-honde, twee Staffordshire-bulterri\u00ebrs, \u2019n boerboel en \u2019n Newfoundland-hond van sowat 100 kg, het die \u201cwegkruiper\u201d ingewag. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hulle patrolleer snags die hele perseel: die erf waarop die woonhuis staan en die een waarop die onderneming gebou is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Charlene Frick (58) vertel hulle het gedink die honde maak weer \u2019n bohaai oor \u2019n rondloperkat \u2013 iets wat ongelukkig al gebeur het met gewoonlik \u2019n noodlottige uitkoms vir die kat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Daardie aand het die Fricks besef dat daar iets anders aan die honde se geblaf is, waarop Charlene buite gaan kyk het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk het besef dis nie \u2019n kat di\u00e9 nie,\u201d toe sy \u2019n skoen onder die Newfoundland sien uitsteek. Di\u00e9 hond het \u2019n gewoonte om op haar prooi te gaan sit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cKom help, kom help. Die ou gaan n\u00f3\u00fa doodgebyt geword,\u201d het sy geskree sodat haar man, Pieter Frick (58), ook buite toe kan kom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit was behoorlik \u2019n petalje om die oortreder van die honde af weg te kry, met Charlene en Pieter wat later noodgedwonge die oortreder in die buitetoilet moes toemaak om te keer dat die honde by hom uitkom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit was aaklig om dit te sien. Ek het altyd gedink mense is slim genoeg om n\u00ed\u00e9 by ons te probeer inbreek nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pieter moes selfs die deur vasdraai om te keer dat dit oopgaan, want die honde wou opsluit daar in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Charlene het intussen die polisie gebel, maar is ingelig dat daar nie op daardie oomblik \u2019n voertuig beskikbaar was om na hul adres te kom nie. Sy benadruk dat die polisie nog altyd baie paraat was en haar baie getrou help. Sy moes nog nooit voorheen lank op hulle wag nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk was byna histeries, want niemand kon die deur oopmaak om te kyk of die ou gebyt is, of nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Op die ou einde is die honde met \u2019n gesukkel in die winkel toegemaak. \u201cDie groot hond het gate in die deur gekrap met sy naels soos hy probeer uitkom het.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Charlene het toe maar vir Freddie Smook van die Esperia-Akkerdyk-buurtwag gebel om te help. Hy het onmiddellik gekom en die oortreder na die polisiekantoor geneem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Net hierna het die polisie opgedaag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Charlene waarsku: \u201cJy moenie by \u2019n plek inklim waar jy nie moet wees nie. As ons self in die nag by die huis wil uitgaan, moet ons eers seker maak dat die honde w\u00e9\u00e9t dit is ons, want hulle werk in \u2019n pack<\/i>. Hulle is hier om ons te beskerm en veilig te hou; om juis die misdadigers weg te hou.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy het ges\u00ea dit was traumaties vir hulle as \u2019n familie, maar ook verskriklik vir die ou wat oor die heining geklim het. \u201cEk dink nie hy sal dit weer doen nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kapt. Tania Helfrich, \u2019n woordvoerder vir die Weskus-polisiedistrik, het ges\u00ea geen saak word teen die minderjarige tiener ondersoek nie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
