Young women from the Primrose SAPS Crime Prevention Youth Desk and members of the Primrose police recently spent Women\u2019s Day educating the community.<\/p>\n
They visited the Makause informal settlement and spoke to people about crime in the area, especially the increase of murder in the settlement.<\/p>
The SAPS and the youth drove around the informal settlement handing out safety tip pamphlets relating to murder, as there were recently three murders in one weekend.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs police we are really concerned about the safety of our community but we cannot predict who the murderers are,\u201d said Sgt Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose police.<\/p>
\u201cOur community must come forward and provide us with information and we will act on it.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey know who the people with unlicensed firearms are because they are staying with them.\u201d<\/p>\n
