It took just 90 minutes for Hout Bay residents to catch a lone criminal who attacked an unsuspecting woman out on a morning walk above Sandy Bay. crimebusters WeekendArgus NormanCloete1

Cape Town - With the help of drone technology, community crime-fighting organisations, SAPS and various security companies banded together to foil an attack that could have been far worse.

“The chase lasted for over 90 minutes, with the suspect managing to evade response teams a few times. Many of the residents, who work from home, used their drones to join the manhunt. Cross said the action by all the role-players, including security companies, ADT, True Guard Security and Deep Blue Security in yesterday’s chase was the general response when one of their own was in trouble.

“A number of our Fidelity ADT armed response vehicles and officers heard the report and responded, along with one of our special tactical response vehicles. While True Guard is relatively new in Hout Bay, it is responsible for looking after the safety of schools and hotels in the area.
