In an effort to curb crime and interact with the community, the Primrose police station commander, Col Albertina Vesi and her management team recently visited the Makause informal settlement.<\/p>\n
During the visit, Vesi warned the community about several crimes that have increased in the area.<\/p>
These included murder, assault, robbery and domestic violence.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is believed that these crimes can be linked to the abuse of illegal substances in the informal settlement,\u201d said Vesi.<\/p>
She further promised the community that the police will continue to conduct operations in the area in the hope of reducing crime.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe request that the community work hand-in-hand with the police to fight crime in Makause,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
