Pretoria - House robbery, business robbery and truck hijacking increased between April and September this year, the police announced in Pretoria on Thursday.

House robbery went up seven percent, business robbery 29.3%, and truck hijacking 53.3%.

"The South African Police Service remains concerned about the continued increase in robberies at residential and business premises," said Director Sally de Beer.

National Commissioner Jackie Selebi held talks with officials who were putting in place measures to address the upward trends of house robberies, business robberies and truck hijackings.

The police said murder, rape, attempted murder, assault with intention to do grievous bodily harm, common assault, aggravated robbery and common robbery decreased over the six months.
