With this in mind, and as the festive season gets closer, the police have sent a stern warning to the community to be more careful.
“Community members need to increase their security wherever possible and always be alert and aware of their surroundings,” said Maome.
“We are also appealing to the community to be careful when entering or leaving their premises.”
Maome advised that residents should, whenever possible, have someone waiting for them when they arrive home, especially in the evenings.
