Primrose police have noted a rise in the number of smash-and-grab cases in the area.<\/p>\n

With this in mind, a team from the police station visited the students of Sunnyridge Primary School, to teach them how to avoid becoming a victim of a smash-and-grab.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

\u201cWe asked the pupils to always remind their parents to store any valuable items out of sight when driving, and to be extra careful when driving in known smash-and-grab hotspots,\u201d said Sgt Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose police.<\/p>\n

The officers also encouraged the children not to play on their cellphones or other electronic equipment when they are in a vehicle which is stopped at a robot.<\/p>

\u201cWe hope the scholars will play a vital role in educating their own parents,\u201d said Maome.<\/p>\n
