There was a shortage of vehicles at the unit, and two and half detectives were allocated per vehicle. The detectives needed eight to ten more vehicles. Five of their vehicles had reached 200 000 kms and were going to be boarded. The caseload at the unit was currently 5 400 cases. The average number of cases assigned to each detective was 80 - the smallest being 36 and the highest 170. The offices were not locked and dockets were lying around on the tables.
