Vandalism on Western Cape Metrorail coaches has gotten so bad that the rail company is enlisting the services of more police officers as a last resort. Yesterday, somebody set fire to a Pinelands train, leading to the arrest of at least 14 rail workers.
Arno Lemoer, the Western Cape’s police chief and the man with the best name in the SAPS, has confirmed that more cops have been deployed to prevent further cases of deliberate damage to Metrorail property.
Since security guards embarked on strike action, there have been at least 20 cases of vandalism and violence reported.
Lemoer has said that police will be ruthless in getting to the bottom of the Metrorail criminality.
