Valuables left in parked vehicles continue to be a concern for the Primrose police.
“We are once again appealing to members of the community to be careful where they park their vehicles and what is left visible when the vehicle is parked,” said Sgt Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose police.

“Do not leave valuable items visible in your vehicle as they can draw the attention of criminals, encourage them to break into your vehicle and steal from it.
“Items like laptops, cellphones and tools should be stored in the vehicle’s boot if they cannot be removed.”
Police also discourage residents from parking their vehicles around the shops and businesses for extended periods of time.
In addition, police have asked residents to refrain from parking their vehicles on the pavement, especially overnight.
