To address these concerning crime trends, they held a door-to-door awareness campaign which aimed to sensitise the community.
“The aim of the campaign was to sensitise residents within the sector to the problem crimes,” said Sgt Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose police.
“We are still appealing to our community not to park on pavements or where vehicles are unattended.
“We urge them to invite their visitors to park inside their yards, even if they are only visiting for a short period of time.”
