Members of the Primrose SAPS Crime Prevention Youth Desk and Primrose police took the time to visit the Wychwood community during an awareness campaign, recently.<\/p>\n

The team handed out 300 safety tip pamphlets during the campaign.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

\u201cHouse break-ins, theft and theft of motor vehicles are still giving us sleepless nights in that sector,\u201d said Sgt Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose police.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe appeal to our community to take care of their property, especially those who still park their vehicles on the pavements.\u201d<\/p>

Maome added that community members should walk in groups.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe advise community members to always walk in groups when walking in the streets. We receive complaints of robberies due to people walking alone in the dark,\u201d said Maome.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe police are trying their best to ensure security but some of the community members don\u2019t follow the safety tips.\u201d<\/p>\n
