‘The need to live in harmonious environment in the suburbs is a must for family balance and persons who display anti-social behaviour outside this will be targeted and positive action taken,’ Sgt Goy said.

‘Now is the time for a positive hard line action approach and we will be doing just that.

‘The public are the eyes and ears on the street and greatly assist us in areas where we may not have enough information or knowledge.

‘Law abiding residents should not suffer in silence and I strongly recommend use of this reporting tool, in addition to calling police on 131 444 if police attention is required,’ he said.
