Police urge students to park legally

The South African Police Service (SAPS) has called on UCT students to avoid parking illegally around Upper Campus. In a statement, Lieutenant-Colonel Karl Wienand, commander of the Rondebosch Police Station, urged students to refrain from parking on the red line along Princess Anne Drive and also "on the verge of the M3". A site inspection of the Princess Anne Drive area was conducted to investigate a string of thefts of and out of motor vehicles, and it was found that many students parked there illegally. A joint operation between the Metro Police, Traffic Police and Rondebosch Police Station will see illegally parked vehicles issued with traffic fines, he cautioned.
