POTCHEFSTROOM: 31 January 2024 - The South African Police Service (SAPS) management in the Province noted with concern a post doing the rounds on social media platforms regarding the existence of a group that is alleged to be terrorising members of the community in Rondebult, Rooikraal, Northam, Lerome, Kraalhoek, Sefikile, Moruleng, Mokgalwane and Molatedi.
We would like to indicate that such incidents were not reported either at Mogwase or Madikwe police station. While we are concerned about aggravated robberies and other serious crimes in the Province including in the policing precincts of the two stations, the post is false and misleading. Members of the community are once more urged to display responsible citizenry by refraining from circulating unverified information as this causes unnecessary strain and incites violence. Moreover, the public is requested to share any crime related information with the police for prompt attention.
