On May 6, 2025, a teacher from a private school, working from home, reported concerns about a man allegedly harassing children and young parents at the school. The response team was instructed by Suzaan Havenga from National Crime Assist (NCA) Control to monitor the situation and coordinate with the school to gather information from complaints and incidents.
Over the following days, the team monitored the area without spotting the individual.
On May 10, 2025, a teacher contacted again, reporting that the man was present at the school. The response team arrived promptly to the scene.
