In an effort to curb crime and interact with the community, the Primrose police station commander, Col Albertina Vesi and her management team recently visited the Makause informal settlement.
During the visit, Vesi warned the community about several crimes that have increased in the area.
These included murder, assault, robbery and domestic violence.
“It is believed that these crimes can be linked to the abuse of illegal substances in the informal settlement,” said Vesi.
She further promised the community that the police will continue to conduct operations in the area in the hope of reducing crime.
“We request that the community work hand-in-hand with the police to fight crime in Makause,” she said.
