Xulu noted that sliding doors were the main point of entry in house robberies as they were often left unlocked.
“Whether the sliding door is in the lower floor or upper of the house/apartment, it must be locked properly.”
“[The] community is requested to follow the safety measures when leaving or sleeping in their houses or any dwelling by ensuring the windows, doors and sliding doors are properly locked,” said Xulu.
