Smithfield Police Arrest 17
Smithfield police arrested 17 suspects in May in connection with different crimes and are following up leads following the break-in at the Factory Shop last month.
Of the arrests made during May, two were in connection with robbery, one for riotous behaviour and two for general theft. Malicious damage to property and domestic violence led to another arrest, and assault GBH to six others.
Of the other arrests, three involved drinking in public, two for being drunk in public.
Commenting on the general increase in crime, Superintendent Willem Bekeer reports that while Smithfield is not faced with some of the more serious crimes, it is essential for the community to take a stand to ensure that they do not occur here.

As a new owner and not yet occupier in Smithfield I was disturbed to hear about these crimes taking place.
We Bought IN Smithfield to get away from crime.
at least now I am reading about arrests….Well done to the Chaps at the cop shop, you will have my support as soon as I get there.
