It seems like Jeffreys Bay is a hotspot and crime here seems to have the highest spikes. With the town relying so heavily on tourism it was suspected. We made numerous positive arrests and will continue to share them on our Facebook Page 

Please stay vigilant and stay alert. Together we can decrease crime.

Be sure to reach out to our offices to get more details and advice on how you can protect yourself better.
