You would think a police station is one of the safest places, but the latest figures show in Gauteng they are not spared from crime.

Mazibuko said 29 stations accounted for the break-ins. The Evaton and Vosloorus police stations were the hardest hit with 16 break-ins each over the last five years.

DA Gauteng shadow MEC for community safety Michael Shackleton said it was concerning that community members put their trust in the hands of law enforcers, but the police were seemingly failing to protect their own property. “Police stations are regarded by communities as a safe place where police officers prevent, combat and investigate crime while protecting and ensuring the safety of all residents.
