# Over 200 impounded cellphones have been repurposed for crime-fighting in Cape Town. The devices, seized from motorists using phones while driving, have been donated to neighbourhood watches across areas like Khayelitsha, Delft, and Manenberg. The city reports fewer motorists are being caught using their phones while driving. Mayoral committee member for Safety and Security, JP Smith, says the phones will boost crime reporting and immediate response via the trusted partner app:
