WATCH | Sandton cop's latest anti-crime weapon: his marimba

Sandton policeman Capt Granville Meyer has taken the fight against crime to a whole new level.

In a video shared on Twitter, he is seen playing a marimba at the Sandton Gautrain station, with placards saying:"Be smart with your phone" and"Be aware when you use your cellphone." Asked why he was playing a marimba rather than putting up posters to fight crime, Meyer told TimesLIVE his campaign needed to be appealing.

"People don't read, so this is a nice way to attract them. Sandton is a hot spot when it comes to cellphone theft and therefore people need to be vigilant." Sandton is among the top five police stations identified in Gauteng as having a high incidence of cellphone theft in a survey conducted between April 1 and June 30.He warned that"people must avoid talking on their phones when in public spaces and they must not be isolated".
