Crime remains a concern for both the Primrose police and residents.<\/p>\n
To try and tackle the problem members of the Primrose Crime Prevention Youth Desk, with the help of officers from the Primrose Police Station, visited various suburbs in Primrose, last Wednesday, to address crime issues in the area.<\/p>
Police have noted an increase in crimes like house break-in and theft, motor vehicle theft and theft out of motor vehicles.<\/p>\n
During the visit over 300 safety tip pamphlets were distributed to community members.<\/p>
\u201cPolice and members of the youth desk also interacted with residents warning them about the top crimes taking place in the sector.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe hope our community will take them into consideration and that the tips will help in their time of need,\u201d said Sgt Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose police.<\/p>\n
