Inwoners van Worcester is bekommerd oor gevalle van inbraak, diefstal en roof wat die afgelope ruk toeneem. <\/p>\n
Emmugean Kemp (26), \u2019n werknemer by Woolworths in die Mountain Mill Mall, stap elke dag dieselfde roete van haar huis in Parkerstraat tot naby die treinstasie se duikweg en dan deur die Bergsig-woongebied tot by die winkelsentrum waar sy werk.<\/p>\n
\u201cMaandag (12 September) was \u2019n doodgewone oggend. Ek het opgestaan, gereed gemaak vir die dag, my Bybel oopgeslaan en gebid. Ek het toe gestap soos wat ek altyd stap, maar toe ek by die duikweg kom, het my dag heeltemal verkeerd uitgedraai,\u201d vertel sy aan Standard<\/i>.<\/p>\n
Toe Kemp naby die treinstasie kom, merk sy toe op dat \u2019n verdagte man in die duikweg staan en rookwalms soos stoom by di\u00e9 deurgang uitkom. Sy het \u2019n man wat met sy hond gestap het, genader en gevra om haar deur die duikweg te begelei.<\/p>\n
\u201cEk het \u2019n voorgevoel gehad dat iets nie reg is nie. Die man was gaaf genoeg en het my deur die duikweg gehelp en ek het verder gestap. So \u2019n paar minute later het ek opgemerk iemand agtervolg my en kom al nader. Ek het sommer net geweet.\u201d<\/p>\n
Die man wat sy beskryf as donker van kleur, met dik hare, \u2019n rooi mus en tatoe\u00ebermerke aan sy gesig, het haar toe uit die duikweg agtervolg en haar gekonfronteer.<\/p>\n
\u201cHy pluk toe \u2019n mes uit en vra: \u2018Waarom het jy die wit man jou laat help deur die duikweg?\u2019 Ek het nie geweet wat om te doen nie. Hy het toe voortgegaan en ges\u00ea \u2018Gee my jou selfoon. Wat is jou pinkode?\u2019 en wraggies die foon gevat en seker gemaak dat hy in die foon kan inkom.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sy s\u00ea sy was erg geskok en het die ondervinding net verbygewens. <\/p>\n
\u201cHy het toe gevlug en ek het gehardloop. Ek het hulp gesoek by \u2019n vrou wat in haar tuin besig was en sy het ges\u00ea ek moet na haar vriendin toe gaan net af in die pad naby Ywam \u2013 hulle sal my help. Soos ek toe hardloop, sien ek \u2019n polisiebakkie en ek keer hulle toe voor. Hulle het my ingelaai en ons het die man gaan soek, maar hy was reeds weg.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sy s\u00ea sy ly nou aan vrees en is steeds geskok n\u00e1 die voorval.<\/p>\n
\u201cEk bewe steeds. Jy sien dit in flieks gebeur en hoor stories, maar tot dit met jou gebeur \u2013 d\u00e1n word dit eers jou realiteit.\u201d <\/p>\n
Sy het Dinsdag 14 September haar selfoon teruggekry en Kemp kan nie meer dankbaar wees nie.<\/p>\n
\u201cDie man het al sy eie foto\u2019s op my selfoon gelaai en toe sien ons deur my ma se foon dat my foto\u2019s verdwyn het. Kort daarna het sy gesig oral begin opduik en ons kon hom met die hulp van vriende en die polisie by \u2019n verlate plaashuis buite die dorp opspoor. Hier het hulle sommer \u2019n klomp gesteelde goedere, soos fietse, ook gevind.\u201d <\/p>\n
In \u2019n afsonderlike voorval is nog \u2019n inwoner van Roodewal, Margaret Joseph, beroof. Sy het onlangs oudergewoonte by \u2019n winkel naby haar huis \u2019n paar goedjies gekoop, maar toe sy by die huis kom en haar selfoon soek, was dit net weg. <\/p>\n
\u201cDit was in my baadjie se sak en kon nie uitval nie. Daar was redelik mense in die winkel en daar was \u2019n groep tienerseuns wat heeltyd om my gehang en naby my geloop en grappies gemaak het. Die een het in my vasgeloop en net gelag, toe is hulle by die winkel uit. Nooit het ek gedink om te kyk of ek nog alles by my het nie.\u201d <\/p>\n
Sy is toe dadelik terug na die winkel en het saam met die eienaar die beeldmateriaal nagegaan en gesien een van die seuns het haar foon uit haar sak gehaal en dit toe voor by sy broek ingedruk. <\/p>\n
\u201cDie winkeleienaar het my dogter se nommer geneem en my die volgende dag laat weet hy het my selfoon teruggekry. Ek het ook toe met di\u00e9 seun se ouers \u2019n ernstige gesprek gevoer,\u201d voeg sy by.<\/p>\n
\u2019n Vrou van Worcester, wat haar verhaal op voorwaarde van anonimiteit deel, s\u00ea sy het die afgelope naweek \u2019n groot skok weg nadat mense by haar huis ingebreek het.<\/p>\n
Dit is ook nie die eerste keer dat boewe hierdie eiendom geteiken het nie. \u2019n Soortgelyke voorval het sowat twee jaar gelede ook hierdie gesin met skade gelaat terwyl talle artikels gesteel is. Geld, skootrekenaars en allerlei artikels is uit die huis geneem nadat booswigte die skuifdeur met \u2019n graaf oopgedwing het.<\/p>\n
Die plaaslike polisie maan inwoners om veilig op te tree en altyd op hul hoede te wees vir kwaaddoeners. Hulle stel ook voor dat klagtes so vinnig as moontlik aangemeld moet word en dat die polisie slegs kan help as hulle oor sulke voorvalle ingelig word.<\/p>\n
Die polisie het ook voorheen aan Standard <\/i>bevestig dat hulle veral in die Worcester-omgerwing meer patrollies ry en klopjagte uitvoer, wat tot suksesvolle inhegtenisnemings lei, maar meer gevalle van veral inbraak word aangemeld.<\/p>\n
Verder meen hulle mense moet verkieslik nie alleen in gebiede wat as onveilig gebrandmerk is, loop nie. Lig ook jou bure in as jy met vakansie gaan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
