The frequency of incidents has left an employee fearing for her safety, after her vehicle was stolen last year and has still not been found.
“Being obviously on edge I invested in a steering wheel lock hoping that it would deter any potential crime. About seven weeks later my car was also stolen from the same parking area. On reporting to Rondebosch police I was informed of another car stolen that same day, in the same parking lot,” she said.“My details were written on a scrap piece of paper.
“UCT’s response is in line with the overall security plan which is updated continuously. This includes the deployment of additional response vehicles to ensure increased visibility as well as mobile surveillance units. The university has also implemented an upgrade of technological measures such as licence plate recognition.”
